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 would 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 had died
But I can't afford the luxury of
honesty and pride
When they come to cut the cord
Do they have to use the sword?
How I wish I could find yesterday and hide
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
