Growing up is tough
 In this ole world
 Living in the rough is, "a hard time"
 When every decision you have to make
 Rests on a dime you beg, borrow, steal or take

 They tell you
 Wait until later
 Do as you're told
 Be a good child
 And go to bed early

 Don't talk back
 And don't hit your sister
 Go do your homework
 Now get ready for the real world
