When I grow up I’ll be able
To go to bed whenever I like
Yeah, when I grow up
When I grow up I’ll be able
To cuss and swear
Because I dare
Yeah, when I grow up
How can you keep me here
Against my will?
When you know I have
Big shoes to fill
I have work to do
I have a life to live
I am more than me
I multiply
I crush my head between shrinking walls
I’ll bounce back, I always do
I set myself on fire like a decoy
Cos it’s my right to fight against the night
I have work to do
I have a life to live
I am sentient
And I multiply
Crush my head against the wall
I’ll bounce back, I always do
I set myself on fire like a decoy
If I burn bright enough I’ll light the way
To freedom
If I burn bright enough I’ll discover
A cure for reality.
