Spoken:
"This is a special moment right now
We'd like to take this time to tell all the kids at home
Send your parents out of the room, this is a kids song"
::guitar starts::
Sung:
Life's gonna suck when you grow up
When you grow up
When you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up
It sucks pretty bad right now
Spoken:
Hey! If you know the words, sing-a-long!
Sung:
Your gonna have to mow the lawn
Do the dishes
Make your bed
Your gonna have to go to school until your 17
Spoken:
And it's gonna seem about 3 times as long as that
Sung:
You might have to go to war
Shoot a gun
Kill a nun
You might have to go to war when you get out of school
Spoken:
Hey Cheer up kids! It gets a lot worse
Sung:
Your gonna have to deal with Stress
Deal with Stress
Deal with Stress
Your gonna be a giant mess when you get back from the war
Santa Claus does not exist
And there's no Easter Bunny
You'll find out when you grow up that Big Bird isn't funny
funny
funny
:::sarcasticly laughing:::
Life's gonna suck when you grow up
When you grow up
When you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up
It sucks pretty bad right now
Your gonna end up smoking crack
On your back
Face the fact
Your gonna end up hooked on smack and then your gonna die!
And then your gonna Die!!!
:::applause:::
Something for the kids!
Well, I think I smell a law-suit in that one
What do you think?
