The Ramones Música y Letra: Tom Waits, Kathleen Brennan
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up. Nothing ever seems to turn out right, and I don't wanna grow up.
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things? Makes 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, and 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 wanna grow up.
Well, when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up. They all go out and drinkin' 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 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.
