Photosynthesis - Songbook Version

One, two, one, two, three
 Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
 All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold
 All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand
 All my friends are getting married
 Mortgages and pension plans
 And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done
 And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become
 But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game
 Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same
 And I won't sit down
 And I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 And I won't sit down
 And I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
 And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
 All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
 Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
 Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
 About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate
 about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
 Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me
 And I won't sit down
 And I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 And I won't sit down
 And I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 And if all you ever do with your life
 Is photosynthesize
 Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights
 That you waste wondering when you're gonna die
 Now I'll play and you sing
 The perfect way for the evening to begin
 Now we'll play and everybody will sing
 The perfect way for the evening to begin
 And I won't sit down
 And I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 And I won't sit down
 And I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 And I won't sit down
 And I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
