Things keep moving forward
and somehow I forgot about
that thing called growing up

some friends of my sisters came up to me
and said “your too old to do this”
and only when I’m tired I think they’re right.

they say you should be embarrassed
by all the things you did in your 20s
but after that all those things should stop

I think I would rather die young
doing something I want, so something  having fun
instead of growing old wondering why

I don’t want to work 9 to 5
coming home to kids who think I’m a superstar
I don’t want a low mortgage
I don’t want an economy car
I guess I just don’t want what they want

I met up with an old friend of mine
he said he “I’m doing fine,
with a low mortgage and a couple of kids”

but when he looked at me
he broke down and started to cry
when he realized I was not living like him

so we went out for a drink or two
you know, just to get re-acquainted
we started talking about old times

that’s when I realized that the
best goddamn time of his life
would correspond with the worst time of mine

REPEAT CH
