So this is all you've ever wanted to achieve?
A house, a job, a bitchin' wife - someone has to make a sacrifice!
To become a philistine, a total douchebag who keeps his garden perfectly clean?
Grow up! - Grow old! - All your life you have been told
Grow up! - Grow cold! - the same old stories
Grow up! - Grow old! - we all have to prevail
Grow up! - Grow cold! - follow the rules and you won't fail!
You should have listened to Peter Pan long ago
When you wake up at night you feel this emptiness inside - this void that eats you alive
Secretly longing for a place you've been before your private Neverland's so far away
And now you're trapped here to stay
Day in day out living life to the extreme
9 to 5 in an office cube - you say you love your daily routine
Back at home the drinks will numb your "grown-up" mind you beat your wife and kids again
Adulthood has made you blind
Grow up! - Grow old! - All your life you have been told
Grow up! - Grow cold! - the same old stories
Grow up! - Grow old! - we all have to prevail
Grow up! - Grow cold! - follow the rules and you won't fail!
You should have listened to Peter Pan long ago - now you've turned into Captain Hook
When you wake up at night you feel this emptiness inside - this void that eats you alive
Secretly longing for a place you've been before your private Neverland's so far away
And now you're trapped here to stay
