Why Grow Up
This question is often asked of me
“When are you going to grow up?”
My answer to that is “why grow up”
“I'd much rather stay a young pup”
Growing up sure ain't no damn fun
To a world of conflict and strife
Prefer to stay young and innocent like
While leading a carefree life
My single voice is of no consequence
In the overall scheme of things
Why should I rattle my li'l old brain
In my world, it's eternally spring
Things will go on long after I'm gone
At my age my engine's on cruise
One thing I've realized in all my years
I've surely got nothing to lose
