Growing into me Ain't the best thing I could be I was taken to the school of life And taught conformity And I really miss that kid And the crazy things she did But I guess She wouldn't think too much of me Hey Mama Hey Mama Can I go out into the world and play? Hey Mama Hey Mama Please come back and take the world away It really hurt inside When they told me God has died But I can't afford the luxury Of honesty and pride When they come to cut the chord Do they have to use a sword? How I wish I could find yesterday? Hey Mama Hey Mama Can I go out into the world and play? Hey Mama Hey Mama Please come back and take the world away Repeat the last verse and fade.
