You see the posters up around my room
|
And you ask me if I’m going to get up soon
|
And I say I think I’m fine here today
|
|
I know you wonder about the friends I run with
|
And I know you rifle through my room when I’m out
|
You’ll never find out what I’m about
|
|
But I hear you no matter what you think
|
Because I know there is good in all your preaching
|
What I am I got from you
|
But you need to learn how to listen to me
|
|
I won’t grow up because life can be so cold
|
I’m going to live in my dreams
|
Even if I’ll die to see them through
|
I don’t want to wake up a half a century older
|
Wanting to be a quarter century new
|
Quarter century new
|
|
I did my time
|
I got through school
|
Left it all and made my rules that day
|
The day we got away
|
A different time I'm a different person
|
And I grew into the look you thought was a curse for so long
|
I´ve always been a little to far gone
|
|
But I hear you no matter what you think
|
Because I know there is good in all your preaching
|
What I am I got from you
|
But you need to learn how to listen to me
|
|
Now, I won’t grow up because life can be so cold
|
I’m gonna live in these dreams
|
Even if I die to see them through
|
I don’t want to wake up a half a century older
|
No wanting to be a quarter century new
|
Quarter Century New
