Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old   All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold   All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand   All my friends are getting married, mortagages and pension plans   And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done   And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become   But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game   Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same      And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all I will not grow up   And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all I yeah I won't grow up      Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems   And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams   All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will   Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled   Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great   About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate   Look I'm meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity   Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me      And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all I will not grow up   And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all I yeah I won't grow up   And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all I will not grow up      And if all you ever do with your life   Is photosynthesize   Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights   That you waste wondering when you're gonna die      Now I'll play and you sing   The perfect way for the evening to begin   Now I'll play and you sing   The perfect way for the evening to begin      And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all yeah I won't grow up   And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all I will not grow up   And I won't sit down   And I won't shut up   And most of all I will not grow up
