I Don't Want To Grow Up
Just because we've gone away
Here's a message from me and Ray
We're not gonna let the music die
Join us if you've got the energy
We're the proud, the few
Descendents rockin' alone tonight
We're the proud, the few
Descendents pickin' our butts tonight
We're looking for a few good men
Degenerates need not apply
Attitude is a must
On our endless quest
To play hard, play fast
You must sacrifice (AAHHHH!!)
Nothing else will suffice
Pay the price
We never did a popular thing
Don't even know how to sing
Couldn't sell out a telephone booth
What I'm telling is the truth
I don't want to grow up
I don't want to grow up
If growing up means being like you
Then I don't want to be like you
Recycled trash
It's deja vu
I don't want to grow up
I don't want to grow up
You're grown up, told what to do
Your suit can't hide the truth
You're a fool
And I refuse to be like you
I don't want to grow up
Don't you think it's time I let you know
Don't you think I should before you go
I'm not gonna let you get away
Cuz I want to fuck you night and day
I'm a pervert
I like to go out on dates
See a movie, communicate
We'll go home and have some fun
I tell ya sure, you're the only one
Then when I leave your house I smell of sex
(chorus)
Then I know I'm a pervert, because I like it
Then I know I'm a pervert, because I want it
Want it all of the time
Don't you wonder sometimes what I want?
Don't you sometimes think I just want your - cunt
I'd hate to think that romance is just a pose
But all I want to do is rip off your clothes
I'm a pervert
I like to hold you in my arms
You know I wouldn't do you harm
I never take advantage, in my book that's a sin
But somehow I find myself caressing your skin
Then there's one word on my mind and that word is - fuck
(chorus)
Poser
Asshole
Loser
Satisfaction
Recognition
Leave me alone
Rockstar
See if you can do two things at once
Go away and leave me alone
Rockstar
Poser
Asshole
Loser
Satisfaction
Recognition
Leave me alone
Hey, let's exploit rock and roll
to its fullest potential
What do I care what you think of me
What do you think you mean to me
You mean nothing, can't you see
And I don't want to smell your stinky beaver
No Fat Beaver
No Fat Beaver
Swear I'm gonna leave her
Can't stand her fat beaver
You look real nice to talk to
But I can't stand to look at you
Stop chasing me all over the place
And get your fucking F.B. out of my face
No Fat Beaver
No Fat Beaver
Swear I'm gonna leave her
Can't stand her fat beaver
You may be the only chance I've got
But I think I'd rather be shot
What do I care what you think of me
What do you think you mean to me
You mean nothing, can't you see
And I don't want to smell your stinky beave
Get away from me, you fucking F.B.
No Fat Beaver!
It's not like you said it was
Nothing like you said it was
It's a dirty old place and I can't go back
It's not like you said it was
Nothing like you said it was
I've been misused and I can't go back
It's a dirty old place and it's full of lies
And I can't see a thing through virgin's eyes
It's a dirty old place and it's full of lies
And I'm still seeing through virgin's eyes
Tonight, and I can't go back and I can't go back
I had a young boy's dream
But I can plainly see
It's a filthy world and I can't go back
Now I can't go back
Now I can't go back
I've been misused and I can't go back
Everybody here is out to get me
Or at least that's how it seems to me
Everybody here is laughing at me
But now I know my weakness is my strength
And I want to go back and I can't go back
It's not like you said it was
Nothing like you said it was
It's a dirty old place and I can't go back
It's not like you said it was
Nothing like you said it was
It's a dirty old place and it's full of lies
And I can't see a thing through virgin's eyes
It's a dirty old place and it's full of lies
And I'm still seeing through virgin's eyes
Tonight, and I can't go back and I can't go back
All I want is some Good Clean Fun
All I want is some Good Clean Fun
You can freak out, you can shoot up
You can fall down, you can self-destruct
Just leave me alone
Work hard, play hard, work up a sweat
Stay out of trouble, if you're able
Don't spoil my day
So don't misunderstand what I say
It's hard to say not and not O.K.
Just take the drugs out of sex and drugs and rock and roll
All I want is some Good Clean Fun
All I want is some Good Clean Fun
You can freebase, fall on your face, waste what you got
Don't corrupt my life
Just leave me alone
Drown it in alcohol, I don't care at all
I like lust and sexual thrust
I like Good Clean Fun
Stop knock knock knock knocking
Stop knock knock knock knocking
Went to the No Nukes rally
The Don Quixotes made me feel silly
Went to the punk rock show
Nobody that I know did go
Went to my university
Boys and girls dress up and look pretty
Went to the party last night
I was there, but it was really out of sight
My world is my mind
I'm locking myself inside
People, they can't get in
I have no use for them
Just came from my girl's bed
Don't think I'll ever forget what she said
I tried to show her my song
She laughed and said the chords were all wrong
Went out to look at the moon
Blood red and the water was too
Just ran away from her house
Not another word from her pretty little mouth
My world is my mind
I'm locking myself inside
People, they can't get in
I have no use for them
Went to the toilet and sat down
There was no one else around
I went inside my closet
Took my guitar and strummed upon it
Went out to run 5 miles
Sifted through my personal files
Went to my desk to sudy
There's no world, no love, nobody but me
And that's the way it's gonna be
My world is my mind
I'm locking myself inside
People, they can't get in
I have no use for them
So stop knocking
Stop it
(Just Music)
Started on the summer Sunday
Pink dress on the setting sun
You were going to grandma's house, I was too scared to come
Silly girl, I'm beggin' you
Tell me all the things I want to hear
Silly girl, I'm in love with you
I had to run to catch you, you always move so fast
With your cute little smile and silly laugh, God gave me love at last
Silly girl, I'm beggin' you
Tell me all the things I want to hear
Silly girl, I'm in love with you
They said just stay away and now I wish I had
I'm so in love with you, my silly girl
They made me go away, sometimes life isn't fair
But I'll be back some day, I hope you'll still be there
Silly girl, I'm beggin' you
Tell me all the things I want to hear
Silly girl, I'm in love with you
When you're just a silly boy like me, you're always so scared
I was too scared to love you, even though I really cared
They said just stay away and now I wish I had
I'm so in love with you, my silly girl
I'm lonely today, won't you come out to play
When I'm with you all the world goes away
your smile and your eyes, they keep me alive
Your voice is a bell that massages my mind
And it makes me wonder
And it makes me sad
And it makes me nervous
And it makes me mad
Because I think about you every night and day
And when I could have asked I let it slip away
I've got to get to know you, but I'm so afraid
Well it's so hard to be a friend and be in love this way
Oh talk to me please, you've brought me to my knees
Only your words melt my twenty year freeze
I've known you so long, I've known you all along
But suddenly my thoughts of you have been so strong
And it makes me wonder
And it makes me sad
And it makes me nervous
And it makes me mad
Because I wonder if I'm more than just a friend
Did I really see a fire - or just inside my head
Sometimes I know you just want me to go away
Well it's so hard to be a friend and be in love this way
Karen, may I see your blue eyes
Karen, may I tell you tonight
That it makes me wonder
You were depressed, you were really messed up
You know I understand
But why did you not talk to me
Why didn't you help me prepare for the nightmare
You took a vacation into oblivion
You were so low and I felt like I didn't know you
Christmas vacation you took a vacation from me
Once it ended, I mended myself
But it keeps falling back down off the shelves in my head
A twinge of pain now, a shudder of disgust
As I shield my eyes from my own memory
I knew all about your plans
I really did understand
But you didn't let me know
I wasn't invited to go
Christmas vacation you took a vacation from me
I watched in desperation as you stumbled before my eyes
She needs beer, she doesn't need me, I finally realized
My anger and pain in all your fun, you couldn't recognize
I stopped caring long before you started to cry
I know a place, up in the air
It's not very far, I've been there before
I know a place, cool and warm
Cool in my blood, warm in my heart
So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man
I only want to know a couple of things about you
Where were you when I was in so much trouble with myself
And do you still believe in me like I believe
I've been thinking good good things about you
Cool and warm, good good things about you
If you've been thinking good good things about me
So cool and warm when you put your arms around me
On my own, I know where to go
Living the lie, in your eyes
I know a place, cool and warm
Cooling my blood, warming my soul
So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man
Let's see if I can get it right with you this time around
I'm not afraid of losing you, my little girl
But do you still believe in me like I believe
I've been thinking good good things about you
Cool and warm, good good things about you
If you've been thinking good good things about me
So cool and warm when you put your arms around me
I see the anger in the back of your eyes
I know the vengeance running through your mind
You're up on the cross with a heart full of nails
Hanging your head whenever you fail
You're thinking. Now's the time
You keep saying. Now's the time
But you still keep standing still
You're free now. Now's the time
It's over now. Now's the time
And I believe. Now's the time
And there ain't a thing now that you can do
You expect everyone to have pity on you
Nobody else can put their life in your hands
So get up and move while you still have the chance
With all of your mind, and all of your soul
And all of your heart, if you want to be smart
You've got a lot to give, don't throw it away
You'll have your way some day, it will come to you
You're thinking. Now's the time
You keep saying. Now's the time
But you still keep standing still
You're free now. Now's the time
It's over now. Now's the time
And I believe. Now's the time
Let's see what you do with the rest of your days
You had it all and you gave some away
It's not going to matter when you're dead and gone
You'll be rewarded for the good that you've done
So quit thinking. Now's the time.
And start doing. Now's the time
You've got a lot to live for
So quit crying. Now's the time
And start trying. Now's the time
Now's the time. Now's the time to live
You say you've been run through the lover's mill
But people are starving while you get your fill
There's not time for standing still
There's another void that you can fulfill
That you can fulfill
With all of your mind, and all of your soul
And all of your heart, if you want to be smart
You've got a lot to give, don't throw it away
You'll have your way some day, it will come to you
So quit thinking. Now's the time.
And start doing. Now's the time
You've got a lot to live for
So quit crying. Now's the time
And start trying. Now's the time
Now's the time. Now's the time to live
