lyrics

when i was a kid i was so confused
about the way the adults would behave
worried all the time with no fun to be had
responsibilities taking up their whole days
i didnt understand how could you change a chid
into these creatures i so i made a story up

aliens would come down and steal your
body when you grew up
put themselves in your place instead
that would explain why adults were so different
to my young and impressionable brain

then i grew up and no such thing happened, to me
i am still here as far as i can tell
so i realized, the changes were all done by choice
it's each of us that decides how to live

and I chose my path, I made up my mind
you're free to make yours, i wont get in your way

I choose to have fun and enjoy my life
I choose to do the things I love
Responsibilities are fine, but i'll keep them in place
i'll remember what being a child meant
