I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not 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, about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me.
Love is about all the changes you make, and not just three small words
Because the only thing that punk rock should ever really mean, is not sitting 'round and waiting for the lights to go green
No one gets remembered for the things they didn't do
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records and the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys. Books I read will never be bestsellers yeah but come on fellas at least we made our choice.
I still believe in the need for guitars and drums and desperate poetry.
We're definitely going to hell. But we'll have all the best stories to tell
You always ask if I'm okay
But it's not the same as being happy
I don't wanna spend the whole of my life indoors,
laying low and waiting on the next storm.
I don't wanna spend the whole of my life inside,
I wanna step out and face the sunshine.
