Pierce Pettis - When I Grow Up lyrics

When I grow up I won't have to think I won't have to see unpleasant things It'll all be perfect, just like on TV And when I grow up I won't feel a thing I won't trifle in other people's pain I'll put these childish things away When I grow up, when I grow up When I grow up I won't have to think so much When I grow up I'll look out for me It's a small lifeboat, baby, it's a great big sea And your tears are nothing; don't put that guilt on me Oh, when I grow up, when I grow up When I grow up I won't have to think so much The one who does with the most toys wins The one who dies in unspeakable sin, while the hungry multitude is condemned to live Yeah, loaves and fishes, and fairytales Let them eat cake, let the strong prevail Let me alone, let them help themselves I wanna k** this little voice inside of me Yeah, the crazy little ba*tard saying things I will not believe I wanna slide just like a snake into the driver's seat Oh, I'm so glad I'm living in the USA, with my BMW and my MBA Driving over the slums, high on the new beltway When I grow up, when I grow up When I grow up I won't have to think so much Oh, when I grow up, when I grow up When I grow up I won't have to feel so much
