I'm An Adult Now

Well, I don't hate my parents

I don't get drunk just to spite them

I've got my own reasons to drink now

Think I'll call my dad up and invite him

I can sleep in till noon anytime I want

Though there's not many days that I do

Gotta get up and take on that world

When you're an adult it's no cliche it's the truth

(Chorus)

'Cause I'm an adult now

I'm an adult now

I've got the problems of an adult

On my head and on my shoulders

I'm an adult now

I can't even look at young girls anymore

People will think I'm some kind of pervert

Adult sex is either boring or dirty

Young people they can get away with murder

I don't write songs about girls anymore

I have to write songs about women

No more boy meets girl boy loses girl

More like man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong

I can't take any more illicit drugs

I can't afford any artificial joy

I'd sure look like a fool dead in a ditch somewhere

With a mind full of chemicals

Like some cheese-eating high school boy

Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts

And I guess it won't be long

Till I'm sitting in a room with a bunch

of people whose necks and backs are aching

Whose sight and hearing's failing

Who just can't seem to get it up

Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music

I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket

Noise, but I can't hear anything

Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming

Some guy screaming in a leather jacket

Wooah!

(Chorus)
