Illustrate The History -- When I Grow Up

Illustrate the history
Don't write down the words!
The best things sent to tape
Do not to be heard
The theories they threw at us, were like nothing we had ever heard before

Slipping off the sidwalk
Right otuside of my door
Rot like an apple
Right down the the core
You can take me from Chicago, but you can't take the Chicago out of me

And if I drew it on paper
Could you understand?
Just to drive the point home
I'm a man, well I'm a man!

Turning down the volume
Sent to your headphones
Learning about kings and queens trading in their thrones
The past is still the past, the past is never gonna pass another way

Illustrate the history
Don't write down the facts!
Illustrious leaders
Can cover up their tracks
And wherever you find me, I'll be eating, I'll be drinking all alone

When I grow up
(When he grows up!)
I want to be
(He wants to be!)
An old fashioned music man

When I grow up
(When he grows up!)
I want to tour
(He wants to tour!)
Europe and Japan
(Japan!)

When I grow up
(When he grows up!)
I want to be
(He wants to be!)
In a successful band
