Lyric I Don t Wanna Grow Up

(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)
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 wanna 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
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 drinking 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 Grand 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
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don t wanna grow up
