Life's gonna suck when you grow up
When you grow up
When you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up
It sucks pretty bad right now

Hey! If you know the words... sing along!

You're gonna have to mow the lawn
Do the dishes
Make your bed
You're gonna have to go to school
Until you're seventeen

It's gonna seem about three times as long as that.

You might have to go to war
Shoot a gun
Kill a nun
You might have to go to war
When you get out of school

Cheer up, kids! It gets a lot worse!

You're gonna have to deal with stress
Deal with stress
Deal with stress
You're gonna be a giant mess
When you get back from the war

Santa Claus does not exist
And there's no Easter Bunny
You'll find out when you grow up
That Big Bird isn't funny

Life's gonna suck when you grow up
When you grow up
When you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up
It sucks pretty bad right now

You're gonna end up on your back
Smoking crack
Face the fact
You're gonna end up hooked on smack
And then you're gonna die

And then
You're gonna
Die
