Certain things happen in life that let you know you're an adult,

Like when your friends start having kids or when your uncle joins a cult.

When you could just watch the Simpsons but you watch Oprah instead

Or when you have more bills to pay than you have hairs upon your head.

That being said...

There'r many things we do that keep us young.

Like flings with younger mates (lets call them "floungs")

Or keeping all our clothes upon the floor, instead of hung.

Not sure why i'm ranting on age

Guess i'm just at that stage

Where half of everyone that i grew up with's settling down

Moving to the suburbs, or the outskirts of town.

And the other half is living like they're on spring break all year

Putting real life on call-waiting while they have another beer.

I guess I'm somewhere in the middle

Sort of like the concrete slab a see-saw rests on.

Because i kinda feel like an adult

But I sure as hell ain't ready to be married, and see my spouse's breasts on

Display, at the playground while the kids play

Breast-feeding my son his baby Tanqueray

Well, if all this age-banter is starting to make you sick

Remember, to forget this crap, you can always turn to music
