When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothing 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 that folks turn into things that they never want
The only thing to live for is today
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
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 want to grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out drinkin all night
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 oclock 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 a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

I loved the video for this Tom Waits song.
I'm 40 and I still feel like a little kid sometimes... sometimes in a good way... sometimes not.
I would would love to go back and actually BE a kid a gain... for sure.
Ramones do this song too.

Well I'm only 15, I am still a kid. But I wish I was 11 again. That year was the best year of my life. Why? Well because I was very happy. I had good friends, I did stuff with my life. National school was the freaking sh*t too, 6th class was the best (That was the class I was in when I was 11). I miss those years. Now that I'm in secondary school, everybody is just different, grown apart. I'm not friends with any of the people I was friends with when I was 11. My friends now are good too..but you know, I miss my life back then. That was the happiest year of my life too. When I turned 13...It just kinda started going downhill.

I would love to be a kid again. I would change my whole life, with the exception of my daughter being born. She is the best things that ever happened to me.
