Grow Up Lyrics

They were first up, leading face down

Overwhelmed us, with autonomy

Didn’t give much, so we give up

Dropped behind such, what’s the point in this?

They don’t like us - inflation bust

World opened up, and we hid away

Less enthused by.. fickle ask why

Learned some new words, but the robots cry

We were sold a dream - it’s unachievable

We were told a lie and tried to believe in it

It’s not cynical - we’re just being real

Oh, we’ll never climb up there

Oh, we’ll never go home

I don’t wanna grow up anymore

I don’t wanna grow up anymore

They were messed up - couldn’t give love

So we’re messed up trying to cut the cord

They say lost breed - we’re in-between

We’re just stuck here, and we panic

Disposable, enviro-guilt

Paralysed by, possibility

First on the scene, screen addicted

Special-ed needs, probability

We were sold a dream - it’s unachievable

We were told a lie and tried to believe in it

It’s not cynical - we’re just being real

Oh, we’ll never climb up there

Oh, we’ll never go home

I don’t wanna grow up anymore

I don’t wanna grow up anymore

(It’s a test), it’s a test

And we try, just to find, the cheat code to life

It’s a test, it’s a test

They reject, we get wrecked, we’re obsessed with ourselves

We complain, we protest, fantasise we exist

We distract ourselves and we lie to ourselves

And all we want is a meaningful life

And all we wants to succeed at life

And we try, try, try, so we bypass life

It’s a test (it's a test)

We were sold a dream - it’s unachievable

We were told a lie and tried to believe in it

It’s not cynical - we’re just being real

Oh, we’ll never climb up there

Oh, we’ll never go home

I don’t wanna grow up anymore

I don’t wanna grow up anymore
