lyrics

GROWING UP

All my high school friends
Are off in college now
And I get high and watch TV all day
And living in my mother’s basement’s really not that bad
I’ve got everything I need and I don’t pay

And I never asked to grow up
So please don’t make me do it
I wasn’t meant to grow up
Don’t think I’ll make it through it
Things have been going south since I hit puberty
It looks like growing up is just too much for me

I was doing fine
When I was still a kid
Swapping baseball cards and playing ball
But then came high school classes that I couldn’t understand
And girls who wouldn’t notice me at all

And I never asked to grow up
So please don’t make me do it
I wasn’t meant to grow up
Don’t think I’ll make it through it
Things have been going south since I hit puberty
It looks like growing up is just too much for me

When people say I need to make a move,
I just agree with them.
But I say, “Not now. No, not right now.”
And when they say I need to get a life,
I just agree with them.
But i don’t know how; no I don’t know how.

But I never asked to grow up
So please don’t make me do it
I wasn’t meant to grow up
Don’t think I'll make it through it
Things have been going south since I hit puberty.
It looks like growing up is just too much for me
It looks like growing up is just too much for me
It looks like growing up is just too much for me

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
