I Dont Wanna Grow Up — текст песни (Tom Waits)

(tom waits/k. brennan)

When Im lyin in my bed at night

I dont wanna grow up

Nothin ever seems to turn out right

I dont wanna grow up

How do you move in a world of fog

Thats always changing things

Makes me wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay

I dont wanna grow up

I dont ever wanna be that way

I dont wanna grow up



Seems like folks turn into things

That theyd never want

The only thing to live for

Is today...

Im gonna put a hole in my tv set

I dont wanna grow up

Open up the medicine chest

And I dont wanna grow up

I dont wanna have to shout it out

I dont want my hair to fall out

I dont wanna be filled with doubt

I dont wanna be a good boy scout

I dont wanna have to learn to count

I dont wanna have the biggest amount

I dont wanna grow up



Well when I see my parents fight

I dont wanna grow up

They all go out and drinking all night

And I dont wanna grow up

Id rather stay here in my room

Nothin out there but sad and gloom

I dont wanna live in a big old tomb

On grand street



When I see the 5 oclock news

I dont wanna grow up

Comb their hair and shine their shoes

I dont wanna grow up

Stay around in my old hometown

I dont wanna put no money down

I dont wanna get me a big old loan

Work them fingers to the bone

I dont wanna float a broom

Fall in love and get married then boom

How the hell did I get here so soon

I dont wanna grow up
