Tom Waits - I Don't Wanna Grow Up 

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night 
I don't wanna grow up 
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right 
I don't wanna grow up 
How do you move in a world of fog 
That's always changing things 
Makes me wish that I could be a dog 
When I see the price that you pay 
I don't wanna grow up 
I don't ever wanna be that way 
I don't wanna grow up 

Seems like folks turn into things 
That they'd never want 
The only thing to live for 
Is today... 
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set 
I don't wanna grow up 
Open up the medicine chest 
And I don't wanna grow up 
I don't wanna have to shout it out 
I don't want my hair to fall out 
I don't wanna be filled with doubt 
I don't wanna be a good boy scout 
I don't wanna have to learn to count 
I don't wanna have the biggest amount 
I don't wanna grow up 

Well when I see my parents fight 
I don't wanna grow up 
They all go out and drinking all night 
And I don't wanna grow up 
I'd rather stay here in my room 
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom 
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb 
On Grand Street 

When I see the 5 o'clock news 
I don't wanna grow up 
Comb their hair and shine their shoes 
I don't wanna grow up 
Stay around in my old hometown 
I don't wanna put no money down 
I don't wanna get me a big old loan 
Work them fingers to the bone 
I don't wanna float a broom 
Fall in love and get married then boom 
How the hell did I get here so soon 
I don't wanna grow up
