Verses
Then there came a chance, to make some steady dough
Bouncing up my alley to the door
You fill your clothes with keys, and dammned responsibilities
Trading the maybe for the sure.
(Chorus)
All I ever wanted, was to be a kid and play
Fighting every change along the way
I don't like work, I don't like waste
And I don't like waiting for a taste.
(Chorus)
