Grow Up

I do whatever it is I wanna do
You can't tell me
You're not my mommy
Don't even try to be
Back off now
The real world's cruel
I'm sending you back to school
My counselor
She says I gotta grow up now
(Whatever that means.)

Oh what am I gonna be
When I grow up?
Will I recognize me?

The Seed sprouts + it grows all by
All by itself
But how we don't know

Got a show coming
Up at the Rocking Stone, so be there
Been known to judge
Back when it was cool to be sloppy at school
It's easier
To ask forgiveness than permission, dear
Our parents they
Never had time for no friends

And my social life's gone
And I'm mowing my lawn
When I should be up on that stage
With the glitz + my rage

Oh what am I gonna be
When I grow up?
Will I recognize me?

The Seed sprouts + it grows all by
All by itself
But how we don't know

Unless I become like a little child
I will never act like the son that has won
And the child grew and became strong
Agreements made
The trumpets sounding off and on

Remove every branch
With no fruit in its hands
Then prune all the rest
Give me the best. Please?
