„I Don’t Wanna Grow Up“ (Tom Waits)
When I’m lyin‘ in my bed at night – I don’t wanna grow up
Nothin‘ ever seems to turn out right – I don’t wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that’s always changing things
Makes me 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 wanna be that way – I don’t wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things that they’d never want
The only thing to live for is today…
I’m gonna put a hole in my TV set – I don’t wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest – And 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 upWell when I see my parents fight – I don’t wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking 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 me a big old loan, work them fingers to the bone
I don’t wanna float a broom, fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don’t wanna grow up
