Growing up (Is Such a Drag)
What's this change here, mother?
I used to be a little boy
I feel deranged, dear father
I've lost all sense of joy
I can hear the ring of the coming spring
So loud, it drives me mad
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
What's this change here, mother
I used to be a little girl
I feel so strange, dear father
You don't fit in my world
I can hear the call from the waterfall
Its roar can drown all laughs
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
All the tears in the world
Won't bring back the dear ones who said goodbye
Is it all just a dream?
Is it all just a dream?
Take a moment in song
Drink to happiness long passed by
Nothing's what it seems
Nothing's what it seems
Oh no
What's this change here, mother
I used to be so blind
It's such a shame, dear father
This world is so unkind
I can hear the love crying from above
Its death just makes me sad
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
I can hear the love crying from above
Its death just makes me sad
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
I used to be a little boy
I feel deranged, dear father
I've lost all sense of joy
I can hear the ring of the coming spring
So loud, it drives me mad
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
What's this change here, mother
I used to be a little girl
I feel so strange, dear father
You don't fit in my world
I can hear the call from the waterfall
Its roar can drown all laughs
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
All the tears in the world
Won't bring back the dear ones who said goodbye
Is it all just a dream?
Is it all just a dream?
Take a moment in song
Drink to happiness long passed by
Nothing's what it seems
Nothing's what it seems
Oh no
What's this change here, mother
I used to be so blind
It's such a shame, dear father
This world is so unkind
I can hear the love crying from above
Its death just makes me sad
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
I can hear the love crying from above
Its death just makes me sad
Bid farewell to childhood dreams
Growing up is such a drag
