Lyrics
Everyone wants me to act my age
So tell me is it true? When you were young did you want everything?
Nothing left to do but try to make some sense of anything
Tossing and turning we forever yearn for the prize
Anything at all that stops our precious time from moving faster
If I had the means I’d help you find a way through this disaster
Forever moving accelerate through our demise
Everyone wants me to act my age (4x)
They tell me how to think - they tell me who to be
They tell me where to go and what to see
They tell me how to subjugate my soul for what is ‘right’
Watching and waiting and finding a reason to be…
Everyone wants me to act my age (4x)
I’ve got a lesson to learn
About your concern
I may have to insist
It’s not enough to exist
Now I may fall flat
Been there done that
But it’s really something to see
The things that are out there for me
Everyone wants me to act my age (8x)
They tell me how to think - they tell me who to be
They tell me where to go they tell me what to see
They tell me who is right - they tell me I am wrong
Their rules are for the weak - and I may not belong
They tell me how to subjugate my soul for wealth and fame
But I don’t think I want to play their game
No I don’t want to start
