You see the posters up around my room
And you ask me if I'm going to get up soon
And I say I think I'm fine here today

I know you wonder about the friends I run with
And I know you rifle through my room when I'm out
You'll never find out what I'm about

But I hear you no matter what you think
Because I know there is good in all your preaching
What I am I got from you
But you need to learn how to listen to me

I won't grow up because life can be so cold
I'm going to live in my dreams
Even if I'll die to see them through
I don't want to wake up a half a century older
Wanting to be a quarter century new
Quarter century new

I did my time
I got through school
Left it all and made my rules that day
The day we got away
A different time I'm a different person
And I grew into the look you thought was a curse for so long
I've always been a little to far gone

But I hear you no matter what you think
Because I know there is good in all your preaching
What I am I got from you
But you need to learn how to listen to me

Now, I won't grow up because life can be so cold
I'm gonna live in these dreams
Even if I die to see them through
I don't want to wake up a half a century older
No wanting to be a quarter century new
Quarter Century New
