lyrics

Grow the fuck up they say
You’re such a fucking child
Acting silly
So undignified

Grow the fuck up they say
You’re such a fucking child
Pushing sixty
Always asking why

How big is the universe
How small is a quark
What do spiders and squid
Like to do for a lark

What’s their favorite color
What’s their favorite sound
What do they dance to
When no one’s around

Stop acting silly
So undignified
Pushing twenty
Always asking why
Stop asking questions
Never satisfied
Pushing thirty
Always asking why

Why do people think
With other people’s brains
Why do they accept
To live a life of pain

Why don’t they rebel
Why don’t they stick it to the man
Why are they beset
By such a short attention-span

Why don’t they write melodies
Draw pictures of their dogs
Imagine endless stories
Like they did when they were tots

Why do they obey
Such dull and boring gods
Why do they fall pray
To the dumbest demagogues

Stop acting silly
So juvenile
Pushing forty
Always asking why
Stop asking questions
Never satisfied
Pushing fifty
Always asking why

Why aren’t we all jesters
Troubadours and clowns
Why the polyester
Why the constant frowns

Why the resignation
Why the doom and gloom
Why so little whimsy
All you adults in the room

Stop acting silly
So infantile
Pushing sixty
Always asking why
Stop asking questions
Never satisfied
Such a baby
Yes but still
alive
