You're a Man Now, Boy

Lyrics

Still got the same feet and the same hands
 That I did when they made me, little man
 But now I wear a suit and tie and Ray Bans
 And I've swapped the fizzy drinks out for beer cans
 I was a Small Soldier and I still am
 Can't say what has changed apart from days and
 I loved Jurassic Park, well, I still do
 Actually, I'm the same except that now I take a pill or two
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 (I'm not growing up, I'm aging)
 (My mind's incarcerated)
 (Still a boy)
 (You're a man now, boy)
 (And though this body's taller)
 (Sometimes I feel smaller)
 (Just a boy)
 (You're a man now, boy)
 Pain is still a weakness, still afraid of ghosts
 Still partial to a Mars Bar and a Sunday roast
 Though now I have to think about the water bills
 Still feel a pang of guilt about the snails I killed
 I smoke too many cigarettes and drink too much
 See the news and feel the blues, I'm feeling out of touch
 I was an astronaut once upon a time
 Now I'm tryna stay grounded, keep some order in my life
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 You're a man now, boy
 (I'm not growing up, I'm aging)
 (My mind's incarcerated)
 (Still a boy)
 (You're a man now, boy)
 (And though this body's taller)
 (Sometimes I feel smaller)
 (Just a boy)
 (You're a man now, boy)
