Fifteen - Grow Up Lyrics
Mama said, pour me some wine sonAnd you can have a sip for your selfMama said, do your homeworkAnd you can watch TV all you wantMama said, do what I say or I'm gonna beat the ***** out of youMama said, this is normal-seeYou don't have it as bad as the other kids on the blockSo then we all pretended that I grew upMama said, I got a letter todaySays you've cut 187 out of 190 daysMama said, we've noticed latelyYou have no interest in gainful employmentMama said, it's time to lock you upMake your round brain fit in a square holeI said, sure thing, I'm just gonna play one last showIn the city, but you know, I didn't ever go home againI stopped pretending that I had a familyWe all pretend, that we love our childrenUntil they show any signs of having their own willThen we beat them, into submissionWe beat them into the superior ways of our way of thinking4,000 kids are murdered by their parents each year.
