Kids Ruin Everything

Kids, they ruin everything
No matter where they swing
They'll eat your chicken wing
Huh huh huh
Kids, they ruin everything
They jump up at the sink
And bring down anything
Huh huh huh

I think Dora is a communist

Kids, remind you of yourself
And all of your faults
Just tugging at your heart
Uh huh huh
Tell the map to jump right back

Kids, they ruin everything
And nothing all in kind
Mess with your fragile mind
All the time
Kids, pull at your heart strings
Clip off your chicken wings
Until it starts to sting
Those fuckers

We keep tellin' Benny he ain't gettin' any

Kids, they think they own the world
Big-headed boys and girls
When will they flipping learn?
Duh duh duh

But maybe Dora's just a socialist

Kids
God I'm so tired
I am so wired
I am so mired

Don't you just wanna love them?
Don't you just wanna hug 'em?
Wouldn't your life feel empty without 'em?
Don't you just wanna free them?
Don't you just wanna be them?
Don't you just wanna be the immortal?

The love you've known
The one that's grown
Since your childhood
Has become it's own
Sticks and stones
Will break your scones
But femur and bone
To be left alone

Take my hand and we'll rock this land
We're so young yet we're so old
When you're waking up at the crack of dawn
Something's wrong yet someone's right

Oh what a delight
The little voices
Pairing your dreams
Right through the seams
And it's every day
But it's okay
It's okay
It's much better
'Cause you're a certified go-getter

Kids...
Kids...
Kids...
Mmm

Don't you know that it's only forever?

Kids, they ruin everything
No matter where they swing
Pull at your heart strings
Those fuckers

Dora, a bonafide, certified communist

Don't you just wanna love them?
Don't you just wanna shove 'em?
Why you keep thinking of 'em?
Why you keep thinking of 'em?
Why do they gotta grow up?
Why did they just now show up?
When the time just doesn't slow up
Years like tears

I look in the mirror and I see the eyes
Looking back at me almost all this time
And I don't remember when they altered
When the light in them had begun to falter

Is this what it's like getting old?
Is this what it's like growing mold?
These objects decay and move far away
Is this world in ruin and in disarray?

I don't think so
It's time to go, so
She holds my hand
And we step outside
All my pride now
And joy inside her
Out in the world
With the little girl
All sun shines through
To now me and you

Kids
Kids
All done
