Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti — Good Kids Make Bad Grown Ups lyrics

Lyrics

They say that part of growing up is Getting a job
Well, I don’t wanna grow up They say part of being young is Going to school
Well, I’d rather grow up They used to say I was a good kid
Now I’m a good kid
Did that by staying in school
But now they say that I’m a dumb man
'Cause I’m a good kid
Don’t you understand?
They say part of being grown is Having your way
I guess I’ll be a grown up today
They also say that the me in me
Wants staying young
I don’t wanna grow up They say that young ones got it easy
You try to please me,
And you can get your way
Well I won’t, please don’t find it creepy
'Cause I’m so easy,
And I have learned to be me
Won’t you believe
The terrors deep inside won’t come out
They say it’s only that being so good
Would make me so bad

I’m glad that they did
Now I play all the time
Now people say I grew up early
I better hurry
'Cause good kids make bad grown ups
This is all a part of the artistic process… going berzerk.
But I don’t wanna grow up They say that part of growing up is Getting a job
I don’t wanna grow up They used to say I was a bad kid
I’m glad that they did
Now I can play all the time
Now people say I grew up early
I better hurry
'Cause good kids —
Won’t you believe
We’ll help you in the night
'Til we come home
Won’t you conceive
We’ll find you when you’re home,
Just have a …
