Frank Turner - Photosynthesis lyrics

rate me

Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old<br />

All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold<br />

All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand<br />

All my friends are getting married, mortgages and pension plans<br />

And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done<br />

And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become<br />

But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game<br />

Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same<br />

<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all I will not grow up<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all I yeah I won't grow up<br />

<br />

Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems<br />

And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams<br />

All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will<br />

Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled<br />

Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great<br />

About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate, <br />

About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity<br />

Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me<br />

<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all I will not grow up<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all I yeah I won't grow up<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all I will not grow up<br />

<br />

And if all you ever do with your life<br />

Is photosynthesize<br />

Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights<br />

That you spend wondering when you're gonna die<br />

<br />

Now I'll play and you sing<br />

The perfect way for the evening to begin<br />

Now I'll play and you sing<br />

The perfect way for the evening to begin<br />

<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all yeah I won't grow up<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all I will not grow up<br />

And I won't sit down<br />

And I won't shut up<br />

And most of all I will not grow up
