They say:
Hey whaddaya doin' with your life
Why don'tcha settle down and find yourself a wife
Don'tcha know you can't run away from here
When will you act your age, why don'tcha listen dear

I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now

They say:
You better stop your dreamin', you're goin' nowhere fast
What if we throw you out, how long you think you'll last
When will you go to school, why don'tcha get a job
Hey girl you better shape up, you're looking like a slob

Well I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now
And I say it again
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now

I can't believe you can't hear what you're saying
Take a good look at yourself
Why don'tcha you listen to the music we're playing
Go pick on somebody else

They say:
You think that life's a free ride, well take a tip from me
We're gonna end your party with some responsibility

All you say:
I'll never grow up (ha ha ha ha)
I'll never grow up (oh)
I'll never grow up, now
(Oh I know you can do better than that, everybody sing)
I'll never grow up (gimme more)
I'll never grow up (gimme more)
I'll never grow up, now
(Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme)
I'll never grow up (hey you in the back, yeah you)
I'll never grow up (don't just stand there, sing along)
I'll never grow up, now (everybody)
I'll never grow up (come on now)
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now (whoopee, I want my mother)
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up (what are these people doing in my room)
I'll never grow up, now (get off of my bed, hey watch it, you're crushin' my dresser)
I'll never grow up (what's that midget doin' here)
I'll never grow up (this is obscenity, oh well)
I'll never grow up, now

A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!

You're cornered in the alley way, you know you're all alone
You know it's gonna end this way, the chill goes to the bone
Now here it comes that glistening light, it goes into your side
Blackness comes, tonight's the night, blade is gonna ride

CHORUS:

Cause you're under the blade
Oh, you're under the blade

It's not another party head, this time you cannot rise
Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped, a light shines in your eye
You faintly see a razor's edge, you open your mouth to cry
You know you can't, it's over now, blade is gonna ride

REPEAT CHORUS

A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
There nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!

You've tried to make it to the front, now you're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now, its mouth is open wide
The lights go on, the night explodes, it tears into your mind
When the night does end, you'll come again, the blade is gonna ride

REPEAT CHORUS

Here it comes, baby
Ow!

Now you're under it
You're going down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Hey!
Ow!
