Good Kids Make Bad Grown Ups

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 met hat 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
