There are some in every era
Kids who say stuff like how adults are full of contradictions or full of lies
What do you think of them now? Were kids really so pure when you were a child?
Hey kid, did time make them grow up at all?
All the adults you call rotten were once like you are now
Look, kid, liars are liars from the time they’re just little punks
Biting at something much bigger than them and retreating to a safe place
Hey cat, threatening even while being petted
We once, long ago
Yearned to be fine people… just like you do
Yeah, time will always
Put us at ease
Numbing us little by little
Making us into the best adults
Yeah, time will always
Teach you to give up
Sooner or later
Making you all into fine people
Hey Kid
I’m from your future
“Nice people make the world boring”
Are you like that pet cat baring its teeth
Is being cute your only redeeming quality?
The adults paint an egotistical, terrible, dirty portrait of adulthood:
A tendency to find straightforward thoughts beautiful
But I too know your scream of silence
Look, kid, you’re weak now, so start getting stronger
I’ll wait right here for you always, no matter how long it takes
So get back up all by yourself, and you’ll be fine
We once, long ago
Yearned to be fine people… just like you do
Yeah, time will always
Put us at ease
Numbing us little by little
Making us into the best adults
Yeah, time will always
Teach you to give up
Sooner or later
Making you all into fine people
Yeah, time will always
Put us at ease
Numbing us little by little
Making us into the best adults
Yeah, time will always
Teach you to give up
Sooner or later
Making you all into fine people
Hey Kid
I’m from your future
“Nice people make the world boring”
