[Verse 1]
When I was a kid, I used to play with little toy cars
Smash ‘em up, race them round in the dark
Now I'm older I play with big boy cars
But can't smash them up as it would cost me an arm
When I was younger I used to hate paying for kid Jack
To eat sweets, drink fizzy drinks and that
But now I'm older thats called loans and tax
I earn money just to f**ing pay it back
[Chorus]
As a kid used to hang in my room
With my friends on my Playstation 2
What happened? Yeah
Now my friends have got happy families and there's me
What happened? Yeah
[Verse 2]
When I was a kid I used to ride on my 'heelies'
Not a care in the world all good feelies
But now I'm older I have to take on real life stress
And deal with real life feelings
When I was a kid, used to hate going school
Used to hate getting up, brushing my teeth and all
But now I'm older do you know what I'd give to have it back
The care free, scare free, life of kid Jack
[Chorus]
As a kid used to hang in my room
With my friends on my Playstation 2
What happened? Yeah
Now my friends have got happy families and there's me
What happened? Yeah
[Bridge]
I wish I could go back in time
Take myself away from the future
As a man nothing ever feels right
Every day I feel older than I used to
I wish I spent a little bit more time
Preparing myself for the future
It comes out of nowhere, right?
And drags you down lower than you're used to
[Chorus]
As a kid used to hang in my room
With my friends on my Playstation 2
What happened? Yeah
Now my friends have got happy families and there's me
What happened? Yeah
[Outro]
Don't really want to be a grown up
But I am now so I guess it's tough luck
What happened to [?] days
And playing [?] and living in dark days
Guess I'm just living in reality
Coming to terms with partial insanity
Knowing that I'll never be young again
Knowing that I'll never be young again
