Growing Up
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.
Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963 - one less Kennedy
And I was too young to understand
And the years flew by in colours
Each one a little faster than before
And as the war caused some to cry
I'd identify
My TV keeping score
Growing up - in the shadow of the U.S.A.
Trying to find - the meaning of life today
America - it's a heavy kind of role you
Play
you're the hero - you're the villain
your every move is on display
Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963 - one less Kennedy
And I was too young to understand
We were all too young to understand
