All You Want

When you are a kid
All you want
Is to be an adult

When you are an adult
All you want
Is to be a kid again

For a kid... life kind of seems like
Having no choices
Being cooped up in school all day
Having to deal with your parents

For an adult... Life kind is
Wishing you didn't have to 
make all the choices
Wishing you didn't have to go to 
work everyday, for such low pay
Wishing you could see your parents
more then you do

Well I guess we will never learn...
I mean we are only human, right?
