Burn, Adolescent! Burn!
Time is of the essence
So spend your adolescence burning
Your whining is incessant
Are your antidepressants working
Come grace us with your presence
If you want any presents for Christmas
'Cause time is obsolescence
And when we're gone we swear you'll miss us
The world is turning like it's never done before
We try to keep up, but our eyes are getting sore
Look into your future
Don't you see what you're becoming
You may think that you're cooler
With all the changes you've got coming
But you're no Ferris Bueller
Or have you even seen that movie
It's tricky to manoeuvre
Before long, you'll be old and loopy
The world is turning like it's never done before
We try to keep up, but our eyes are getting sore
What happened to the little kid we once knew
You used to be so sweet and now look at you
A shell of your former self, high and dry
You're getting so big these days, it makes me cry
Soon we'll call you for dinner
But you're up in your room
And you never hear us and you never will
Unless we go knock on your door and you let us in
The world is turning like it's never done before
We try to keep up, but our eyes are getting sore
What happened to the little kid we once knew
You used to be so sweet and now look at you
A shell of your former self, high and dry
You're getting so big these days, it makes me cry
So spend your adolescence burning
Your whining is incessant
Are your antidepressants working
Come grace us with your presence
If you want any presents for Christmas
'Cause time is obsolescence
And when we're gone we swear you'll miss us
The world is turning like it's never done before
We try to keep up, but our eyes are getting sore
Look into your future
Don't you see what you're becoming
You may think that you're cooler
With all the changes you've got coming
But you're no Ferris Bueller
Or have you even seen that movie
It's tricky to manoeuvre
Before long, you'll be old and loopy
The world is turning like it's never done before
We try to keep up, but our eyes are getting sore
What happened to the little kid we once knew
You used to be so sweet and now look at you
A shell of your former self, high and dry
You're getting so big these days, it makes me cry
Soon we'll call you for dinner
But you're up in your room
And you never hear us and you never will
Unless we go knock on your door and you let us in
The world is turning like it's never done before
We try to keep up, but our eyes are getting sore
What happened to the little kid we once knew
You used to be so sweet and now look at you
A shell of your former self, high and dry
You're getting so big these days, it makes me cry
