Because We're Kids

Just because we’re kids

Because we’re sort of small

Because we’re closer to the ground

And you are bigger by the pound

You have no right

You have no right

To push and shove us little kids around

Just because your throat

Has got a deeper voice

And lots of wind to blow it out

At little kids who don’t dare shout

You have no right

You have no right

To force and beat us little kids about

Just because you’ve got whiskers on your face to shave

You treat us like a slave

So what? It’s only hair

And because you got a wallet near your heart

You think you’re twice as smart

You know, that isn’t fair

We’ll grow up some day

And when we do, I pray

We won’t just grow in size and sound

Or just get bigger by the pound

I’d hate to grow

Like some I know

Who push and shove us little kids around

Just because you’ve got whiskers on your face to shave

You treat us like a slave

So what? It’s only hair

Just because you got a wallet near your heart

You think you’re twice as smart

You know, that isn’t fair

We’ll grow up some day

And when we do, I pray

We won’t just grow in size and sound

Or just get bigger by the pound

I’d hate to grow

Like some I know

Who push and shove us little kids around

Just because we’re kids
