Grow Up

2000

 

I won't try to push you but I won't back away

Just listen to the words I've got to say

You say you like men but you don't like boys

Yet you sit around here and play with your toys

Why don't you go out and get a job

Back off me and quit being a snob

How many times do I have to say it

You claim you're grown up but you just don't play it.

 

Now come on, what do you have to say

I don't like the stupid mind games you play

Just look at all the insults you throw on the shelf

You like grown up men but aren't grown up yourself

How bout you just view people inside

Cuz looks are always just a false guide

Why don't you try to get to know them

Before you go and try to destroy them.

 

People today get all up in your face

Pushing you around all over the place

People in this world, they can make me sick

They act like idiots but think that they’re slick

How many girls are there around

Who think that their popularity's up but it's down

How many times should I have to do it

I give you the answers but you see right through it.

 

The problems on earth are getting pretty bad

And it's not just a style and it's not just a fad

People see it happen but they don't really care

The threats and the insults are fouling up the air

I don't like the kind of person you are

But I won't say it out loud, I just play my guitar

How many popular kids make all the money

It's always the nerds, well isn't that funny

 

In a world of grown ups you're just little girls

Sitting around playing with your curls

When looking good's more important than life

It's time you consider making life right

So how bout you just grow up a bit

Cuz the way you act just don't seem to fit

I've had enough of your useless whining

So think about life and tell what you're finding

Think about life and tell what you're finding

Think about life and tell what you're finding…
