Lyrics
No Growing Up
Verse 1:
Look around, love is gone, momma's asleep, you're daddy's not home
Look around, everything's wrong, soldier up child, you're on your own
Look around, feel the air, chilly and dark, hate in the atmosphere
Look around, so much despair, the places you go, are damned everywhere
Chorus:
No growing up, tomorrow's not showing up, smoke going up, stuff blowing up
And your heart's had enough
No growing up tomorrow's not showing up, smoke going up, stuff blowing up
And your heart's had enough
Verse 2:
Look around, at your social disease, tensions high strung, and panic's increased
Look around, your troubles don't cease, for crime in your mind, you can't call police
Chorus:
No growing up, tomorrow's not showing up, smoke going up, stuff blowing up
And your heart's had enough
No growin
g up tomorrow's not showing up, smoke going up, stuff blowing up
And your heart's had enough
Verse 3:
Look around, it's hard to believe, the misery spreads, there's just no relief
Look around, the old prophet said, look for Jesus, better hope he's not dead
Chorus:
No growing up, tomorrow's not showing up, smoke going up, stuff blowing up
And your heart's had enough
No growing up tomorrow's not showing up, smoke going up, stuff blowing up
And your heart's had enough
