Everybody's Gotta Grow Up Sometime

Why can't I?

G.I. Joe moved to Mexico

He's hiding from the IRS

Wearing diamond rings and livin' like a king

At an undisclosed address

Superman flew to Japan

Gave up fightin' crime

He's doin' commercials for compact cars

Livin' in a big high rise

Everybody's gotta grow up sometime

To get a little slice of that big ol' American pie

Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime

Why can't I?

The ol' Lone Ranger bought an RV park

Somewhere in Arizona

And Tonto built a big casino

And owns half of Oklahoma

Barbie and Ken, they got a divorce

I guess that's the way it goes

She got the house and the accessories

And told Ken to hit the road

Everybody's gotta grow up sometime

To get a little slice of that big ol' American pie

Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime

Why can't I?

All of my heroes abandoned their egos

And left me at home on the range

I'm still stuck and I'm still down on my luck

Waitin' for something to change

Everybody's gotta grow up sometime

To get a little slice of that big ol' American pie

Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime

Why can't I?
