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 grow 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

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
This is all a part of the artistic process... going berzerk.
But I don't wanna grow 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 have a ...
