Strange Fires

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 throw 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 key to being grown Is staying young I don't wanna grow up They say that young boys got it easy Just try to please me And you can get your way But I won't be nobody's baby Cause I'm so lazy And I happen to be me Won't you believe The terrors deep inside won't come out They should have told me that being so good Would make me so bad But nobody knew, no Growing up is not as half as fun as Growing down The other way I'm... (Under the ground Under the ground, 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 And part of the artistic process is going berserk But I don't wanna blow 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 out of reach --- Strange Fires - Ariel Pink
