When I see the price that you pay 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 
Yeah gonna 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

Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up 
They all go out and drinkin' 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 Grant Street 

When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up 
They Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up 
Rather stick around the 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 learn to float a broom fall in love and get married then boom 
How the hell did it get here so soon 
F       G          C 
I don't wanna grow up
