They say that part of growing up is
Getting a job
Well, I don't wanna grow up
They say part of being young is
Going to school
Well, I'd rather grow up

They used to say I was a good kid
Now I'm a good kid
Did that by staying in school
But now they say that I'm a dumb man
'cause I'm a good kid
Don't you understand?

They say part of being grown is
Having your way
I guess I'll be a grown up today
They also say that the me in me

'cause I'm so easy,
And I have learned to be me

Won't you believe
The terrors deep inside won't come out

They say it's only that being so good
Would make me so bad
'cause nobody knows, no
Growing up is not as half as fun as
Growing down
The other way I'm underground
(I'm underground, oh,
I'm underground, oh)

They used to say I was a bad kid
I'm 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

This is all a part of the artistic process...going berzerk.
But I don't wanna grow up

They say that part of growing up is
Getting a job
I don't wanna grow up

They used to say I was a bad kid
I'm glad that they did
Now I can play all the time
Now people say I grew up early
I better hurry
'cause good kids -

Won't you believe
We'll help you in the night
'til we come home

Won't you conceive
We'll find you when you're home,
Just have a ...
