I gotta grow up?

[Intro] [Verse 1] Yeah, look— My alarm clock’s screaming but I’m playing the dead role Got a bowl of cereal and zero self-control. They say "You’re twenty-something, boy, it’s time to get a career" But I’m still mastering the kickflip I’ve been trying for a year. Got a stack of past-due bills acting as a coaster While I’m staring at the faded Tony Hawk on my poster. "Adulting" sounds like a prison sentence, let's be real I’d rather stay a slacker, yeah, I like the way it feels! [Pre-Chorus] I’m skipping the meeting, I’m dodging the suit I’m biting the candy and throwing the fruit! The world’s getting heavy, the ties are too tight I’m staying in the basement and I’m staying up all night! [Chorus] Don’t wanna grow up, don’t wanna be "sane" I’m keeping the static inside of my brain! From the half-pipe dreams to the stoner-haze days I’m lost in the middle of a permanent phase! (Yeah, it’s just a phase!) (Go!) [Verse 2] Now they want me at a desk with a tie and a name-tag? I’d rather be at the park with a thrift-store gym bag. "Buy a house, get a lawn, get a dog, get a mortgage" While I’m looking for the remote in a mountain of garbage. You call it "irresponsible," I call it a lifestyle I’m the king of the couch, check the grime on my profile. If maturity is a club, then I’m losing my ID I’m a thirty-year-old toddler—don’t you ever try to fix me! [Bridge] (Left foot, right foot, slide...) (Baggy jeans, baggy eyes, wide...) I’m not "maturing," I’m just getting taller. The world’s getting big, but my circle’s getting smaller. [Chorus] Don’t wanna grow up, don’t wanna be "sane" I’m keeping the static inside of my brain! From the half-pipe dreams to the stoner-haze days I’m lost in the middle of a permanent phase! [Outro] [Spoken - Sarcastic] So what? I’m still on level one. At least I’m having fun. Go get your 401k, I’ll be at the pizza place. (Peace.) [End]
