I Don't Want to Grow Up

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up Nothin' ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things  Makes me wish that I could be a dog       When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up I don't ever want to be that way I don't wanna grow up Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want       The only thing to live for is today       I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set I don't wanna grow up Open up the medicine chest and I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna have to shout it out  (repeat  for next section) I don't want my hair to fall out I don't wanna be filled with doubt I don't wanna be a good boy scout I don't wanna have to learn to count I don't wanna have the biggest amount I don't wanna grow up      Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up They all go out and drinkin' all night and I don't wanna grow up I'd rather stay here in my room Nothin' out there but sad and gloom I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grant Street         When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up Stay around in my old hometown I don't wanna put no money down I don't wanna get me a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float a broom all in love and get married then boom How the hell did it get here so soon I don't wanna grow up
