Arrested Development

I made sixteen and then I froze 
although I'm sixty-five, 
my inner child is still right here 
it's stuck inside alive, 
surviving, there may still be time 
to educate the brat, 
show him who the hell is boss, 
now what d'ya think of that?

I think it's nice to see we don't fully grow up and manage to keep a piece of our youth inside us.
