We’re vaccinated to block out all passionate thought,
While we’re fascinated living life on such small screens,
While motivated to work toward such false securities.
But I’m still screaming “No,
I won’t be what I’m told, What I’m told,
Cause I’m not growing up before I grow old,
No I’m not growing up before I grow old!”
We’ll paint the yellow brick road black.
‘Cause we know what we want,
And there’s no turning back;
On all of these songs,
That move us along.
As our youth keeps growing young;
We’re screaming “No,
I won’t be what I’m told, What I’m told,
Cause I’m not growing up before I grow old,
No I’m not growing up before I grow old!”
Cause In our own lives,
As the first ones to come,
We’ll be the last ones to leave,
We won’t be part of a corporate majority,
Cause in our own lives,
As the first ones to come,
And as the last ones to leave,
We won’t be growing old,
We’ll be growing young.
We won’t be what we’re told,
Cause we’re not growing up before we grow old,
We won’t be what we’re told...
Cause we’re not growing up before we grow old.
No we’re not growing up before we grow old.
No we’re not growing up before we grow old.
No we’re not growing up before we grow old.
We won’t be what we’re told, What we’re told,
Cause we’re not growing up before we grow old,
We won’t be what we’re told, What we’re told,
Cause we’re not growing up before we grow old!
No we’re not growing up before we grow old.
No we’re not growing up before we grow old.
