Lyrics
Growing Pains
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So young so strong
Ignorance is bliss
Thin skin caught up again
In a place like this
Big people set the trap for you
Using you-know-what for brains
You're just another lab experiment
And you're easy to replace
Too much too soon
Sensors overload
Brought down, chased out of town
Another dangerous road
Simply a problem of biology
It's a choice you never make
The scene is set and you're subjected to
A lethal dose of growing pains
Think it through
Logic must be made for fools
Leave them now
And be a has-been who never was
They'll set you up with pains that grow
