When I Grow Up 1
Punk
Lyrics
Description
When I grow up, there′s a day that′s mine, I’ll bark the orders, cross every damn line.
No tiptoeing, no polite crap, You better shut it or get the slap!
Don’t do this, don’t do that, Snapping fingers, no chitchat, Food in your mouth, zip it tight, Grown-ups talk, you’re out of sight!
Don’t do this, don’t do that, Don’t you dare talk back. Mouth full? Save it, hey! Quiet now, hear what I say. I’m not cruel, just hardcore, It’s love, but I’m the law. You know I care, no delay, So shut your mouth, just do what I say!
Rules like chains, I’ll throw them down, King of chaos, wear the crown, Mess with me, you’ll get the glare, Rebels, cradle me or beware!
Don’t do this, don’t do that, No bad talk, just straight chat, Chew your food, but don’t you preach, Silent chair won’t feel my reach!
Don’t do this, don’t do that, Don’t you dare talk back. Mouth full? Save it, hey! Quiet now, hear what I say. I’m not cruel, just hardcore, It’s love, but I’m the law. You know I care, no delay, So shut your mouth, just do what I say!
No sappy speeches, no soft plea, This is punk and that’s the key. Raw and rough, no time for play, When I grow up, you’ll obey!
Don’t do this, don’t do that, Don’t you dare talk back. Mouth full? Save it, hey! Quiet now, hear what I say. I’m not cruel, just hardcore, It’s love, but I’m the law. You know I care, no delay, So shut your mouth, just do what I say!
