Grow Up

from Water by Trevor Exter

/

lyrics

You think you’re free but you’re just loose
Think you stand apart in a roomful of fools
Never thought yourself to be afraid
But look it’s going to rain on your parade

CHORUS:
Turn me round and around tie me up throw me down
I can laugh at you
Laugh ‘cause I know power stiffens the hips
And it dries your lips
And the reason you look so confused is
The voice in your head telling you what to do
May not be the one that you think it is
You lose more of my respect by needing to be right
Than you could ever expect to get if you ever won your fight
The price of being a son of man is already high enough
So along with being born again my friend you can try to grow up

You made it to your mountain top
Followed in the footsteps of your mom and pop
And you’re up there trying to catch your breath
So you can smoke your cigarette
All my hard-earned money you have spent
Preparing for your great experiment
You say you heal the sick and raise the dead
And you hear Jesus’ voice inside your head

[CHORUS]
WHY NOT JUST GROW UP!

Na Na Na Naa Naaaa
Na Na Na Na Naaa
Na Na Na Na Naaa na Naa
Na Naa

You’re righteous in your little world
Standing up for daddy’s little girl
But you always gave your second best
Never put your good side to the test
You think you’re free but you’re just loose
Think you stand apart in a roomful of fools
Never thought yourself to be afraid
But look it’s raining all on your parade

[CHORUS]

You can try to grow up, why not just grow up!
