For so long i've been told to give it up
To get a job and stop dreaming of what I'm dreaming of
Maybe if I was more like you
I'd have a single thing to say
I could look foward to
I could look forward to
Not the same kid that a used to be
But i still got the same philosophy
If growing up is giving in
Then count on me to count myself out
Yeah!
If growing up is giving in
Then count on me to count myself out
Yeah!
Getting sued by my friends
Taught me that I can't pretend
That i'm immune to the rules of
Adulthood
I'd rather be a starving artist than a wealthy critic
I'd rather be a space cadet than bitter and jaded
Brain dead and rewarded for it
Like everyone else of my age is
Not the same kid that I used to be
But I still got the same philosophy!
If growing up is giving in
Then count on me to count myself out
Yeah!
If growing up is giving in
Then count on me to count myself out
Yeah!
I'm not the same kid
I'm not the same child
I might still be a prick
But at least i'm not a prick in denial
I wake up late just to miss the whole day
In this putrid spew that I call my bedroom
Putting on clothes just to take them off
In a couple of hours, why the fuck do I bother
I want to ride this train and hope it never stops
I wake up late just to miss the whole day
In this putrid spew that I call my bedroom
Putting on clothes just to take them off
In a couple of hours, why the fuck do I bother
I jump in this train and hope it never stops
This is all I got
This all I want
