'85: Why I Am Not a Teenager |
You won’t pluck a robot |
Making diddly-squat |
This is why I am not a teenager |
They all talk down to you |
Like they know what to do |
Are they trying to screw up your life? |
Since they already blew their own |
But when I grow up |
I’m going to run |
My own planetarium |
I’ll make the shows |
All on my own |
The world will flock to see 'em |
All that money they got |
They don’t give you a shot |
This is why I am not a teenager |
When you never get paid |
And you never get laid |
And you’re full of these stupid hormones |
And just then they come out with AIDS |
But when I grow up |
I’m going to be |
An underground film maker |
I’ll have my own |
Backlot somewhere |
On my own half an acre |
So they piss on your dreams |
Then they muzzle your screams |
This is why I am not a teenager |
Making ice cream on drugs |
Shoveling horse products |
Washing dishes and making popcorn |
Toilets, oh the indignity! |
Piss on your dreams |
Muzzle your screams |
Why I am not a teenager |
Piss on your dreams |
Muzzle your screams |
Piss on your dreams |
Muzzle your screams |
Why I am not a teenager |
Piss on your dreams |
Muzzle your screams |
