Growing up, isn't all it's cracked up to be
Believe me
Sweet sixteen just fades away
Your memories start to grey
You become a slave to responsibility
-chorus-
These empty gifts they mean nothing to me
Your shallow wishes they mean nothing to me
Why can't I get anything that means something to me
So take your token presents
And you cards filled with currency
I have no use for these
Brother, can you give me something that's real
Instead of these formalaties
To pass the will and keep the peace
-chorus-
-chorus-
Blow out your candles, make a wish
Don't tell anyone what it is
Maybe this year it'll come to be
