Good Kids Make Bad Grown Ups
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

They say that part of growing up is

Getting a job

Well, I don't wanna grow up

They say part of being young is

Going to school

Well, I'd rather grow up


They used to say I was a good kid

Now I'm a good kid

Did that by staying in school

But now they say that I'm a dumb man

'Cause I'm a good kid

Don't you understand?


They say part of being grown is

They used to say I was a bad kid

I'm glad that they did

Now I play all the time

Now people say I grew up early

I better hurry

'Cause good kids make bad grown ups


This is all a part of the artistic process...going berzerk.

But I don't wanna grow up


They say that part of growing up is

Getting a job

I don't wanna grow up


They used to say I was a bad kid

I'm glad that they did

Now I can play all the time

Now people say I grew up early

I better hurry

'Cause good kids -


Won't you believe

We'll help you in the night

'Til we come home


Won't you conceive

We'll find you when you're home,

Just have a ...
