Thanks Newcastle for coming out for the show. Let's finish it in style. This song's about not sitting down.
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
The latest music fans all pass me by and let me cold
All the kids are talking slang I won't attempt to understand
All my friends are getting married, mortgages and pension plans
And it's obvious I'm an angry adolescent
Days are done and I'm happy and I'm settled in
The person that I've become
But that doesn't mean that I'm settled up and I'm sitting there all the game
Time may change a lot but some things they stay the same
I won't sit down and I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
I won't sit down and I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
Well maturities are wrapped up, baggage stealed
So it seems
Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all of your dreams
All your friends and peers and family suddenly tell you you will
Have to grow up, be an adult, yet be born an unfulfilled
Oh but no one's yet explained to me exactly
What's so great about slaving fifty years away
Something that you hate
About me flee cycling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it
But it's not the road for me
I won't sit down and I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
You say it
I won't sit down and I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And if all you ever do with your life
Is just mortal synthesize
Then you'll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights
Let you waste wondering when you're gonna die
Take it away Ben

So I'll play and you sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin
And we'll play and everybody will sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin
And I won't sit down and I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down and I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
I won't sit down and I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
