| When I was a kid, I used to play with little toy cars
|
| Smash ‘em up, race them round in the dark
|
| Now I’m older I play with big boy cars
|
| But can’t smash them up as it would cost me an arm
|
| When I was younger I used to hate paying for kid Jack
|
| To eat sweets, drink fizzy drinks and that
|
| But now I’m older thats called loans and tax
|
| I earn money just to fucking pay it back
|
| As a kid used to hang in my room
|
| With my friends on my Playstation 2
|
| What happened? |
| Yeah
|
| Now my friends have got happy families and there’s me
|
| What happened? |
| Yeah
|
| When I was a kid I used to ride on my 'heelies'
|
| Not a care in the world all good feelies
|
| But now I’m older I have to take on real life stress
|
| And deal with real life feelings
|
| When I was a kid, used to hate going school
|
| Used to hate getting up, brushing my teeth and all
|
| But now I’m older do you know what I’d give to have it back
|
| The care free, scare free, life of kid Jack
|
| As a kid used to hang in my room
|
| With my friends on my Playstation 2
|
| What happened? |
| Yeah
|
| Now my friends have got happy families and there’s me
|
| What happened? |
| Yeah
|
| I wish I could go back in time
|
| Take myself away from the future
|
| As a man nothing ever feels right
|
| Every day I feel older than I used to
|
| I wish I spent a little bit more time
|
| Preparing myself for the future
|
| It comes out of nowhere, right?
|
| And drags you down lower than you’re used to
|
| As a kid used to hang in my room
|
| With my friends on my Playstation 2
|
| What happened? |
| Yeah
|
| Now my friends have got happy families and there’s me
|
| What happened? |
| Yeah
|
| Don’t really want to be a grown up
|
| But I am now so I guess it’s tough luck
|
| What happened to days
|
| And playing and living in dark days
|
| Guess I’m just living in reality
|
| Coming to terms with partial insanity
|
| Knowing that I’ll never be young again
|
| Knowing that I’ll never be young again |
