Growing Up In Public
Some people are into the power of power
The absolute corrupting power that makes great men insane
While some people find their refreshment in action
The manipulation, encroachment and destruction of their inferiors
Growing up in public
Growing up in public
Growing up in public
Growing up in public with your pants down
Some people are into their sadistic pleasures
They wet their desires and they drool in your ears
Their quasi-effeminate character's in love with oral gratification
They edify your integrities, so they can play on your fears
And they're gonna do it in public
'Cause you're growing up in public
They're gonna do it to you in public
'Cause you're growing up in public with your pants down
Some people think being a man is unmanly
And then, some people think that the whole concept's a joke
But some people think being a man is the whole point
And then some people wish they'd never awoke
Up from a dream of nightmarish proportions
Down to a size neither regal nor calm
A Prince Hamlet caught the middle between reason and instinct
Caught in the middle with your pants down again
Caught in the middle (caught in the, caught in the middle)
I'm really caught in the middle (caught in the, caught in the middle)
I'm caught in the middle (caught in the, caught in the middle)
Caught in the middle, baby, deciding about you
The absolute corrupting power that makes great men insane
While some people find their refreshment in action
The manipulation, encroachment and destruction of their inferiors
Growing up in public
Growing up in public
Growing up in public
Growing up in public with your pants down
Some people are into their sadistic pleasures
They wet their desires and they drool in your ears
Their quasi-effeminate character's in love with oral gratification
They edify your integrities, so they can play on your fears
And they're gonna do it in public
'Cause you're growing up in public
They're gonna do it to you in public
'Cause you're growing up in public with your pants down
Some people think being a man is unmanly
And then, some people think that the whole concept's a joke
But some people think being a man is the whole point
And then some people wish they'd never awoke
Up from a dream of nightmarish proportions
Down to a size neither regal nor calm
A Prince Hamlet caught the middle between reason and instinct
Caught in the middle with your pants down again
Caught in the middle (caught in the, caught in the middle)
I'm really caught in the middle (caught in the, caught in the middle)
I'm caught in the middle (caught in the, caught in the middle)
Caught in the middle, baby, deciding about you
