They say that part of growing up is
Getting a job
Well, I dont wanna grow up
They say part of being young is
Going to school
Well, Id rather throw up
They used to say I was a good kid
Now Im a good kid
Did that by staying in school
But now they say that Im a dumb man
Cause Im a good kid
Dont you understand?
They say part of being grown is
Having your way
I guess Ill be a grown up today
They also say that the key to being grown
Is staying young
I dont wanna grow up
They say that young boys got it easy
Just try to please me
And you can get your way
But I wont be nobodys baby
Cause Im so lazy
And I happen to be me
Wont you believe
The terrors deep inside wont come out
They should have told met hat being so good
Would make me so bad
But nobody knew, no
Growing up is not as half as fun as
Growing down
The other way Im
Under the ground
Under the ground, oh
They used to say I was a bad kid
Im glad that they did
Now I play all the time
Now people say I grew up early
I better hurry
Cause good kids make bad grown ups
And part of the artistic process is going berserk
But I dont wanna blow up
They say that part of growing up is getting a job
I dont wanna grow up!
They used to say I was a bad kid
Im glad that they did
Now I can play all the time
Now people say I grew up early
I better hurry
Cause good kids –
Wont you believe
Well help you in the night
Til we come home
Wont you conceive
Well find you when youre home
Just out of reach
