Addicted to Youth

The alarm’s screeching at me

And my mom screams the harmony

Wakin’ up in the morning is such a bad fix

But at least I can get off the hook by saying that I’m sick.

Chorus

‘Cause I’ve got to got to got to get my fix

‘Cause this world’s too old, now ain’t that the truth.

Got to got to got to get my hit

Now my worries are gone c’mon ‘cause I’m addicted to youth.

At school my teacher tells me I’m much to naïve

He says I’m irresponsible though he doesn’t even see

That we’re on the same level of maturity

Except look whose going bald and growing a belly.

Chorus

When everything matters, and life’s dreams have yet to be achieved

You’ve got everywhere to go- you can stay or you can leave

And if you haven’t claimed independence or turned eighteen

And you run out of all your money

You can go back home

Because it’s such a good fix livin’ on your parent’s money

You can drive the car all the way to empty

Then you take a break and have your friends give you rides

And when your parents have to fill it up, then you can drive again.

Your dad had to drive to work yesterday

And he ran out of gas on the way

Had to fill it up and pay the price

But now you’ve got a car again, ain’t in nice?

Chorus
