Lyrics

We Don't Want to Grow Up
Penelope Torribio

We don't want to come out, we want to go back to where we came from.
We don't want to grow up, we always, always want to be young.

Seems all the big dinosaurs ever do is fight, some have guns and some have knives. We don't' like the sound, we don't like the sight,
We don't want to live this kind of life.

We want to go back to where we came from.
We don't want to grow up, we always, always want to be young.

The threephorn hate the long-neck. The long neck hate the T-rex.
The t-rex hate the stegosaurus.
Ther's too much hate in this primeval forest.

We don't want to come out, we want to go back to where we came from.
We don't want to grow up, we always, always want to be young.

Neighbor kill neighbor, friend kill friend,
When will all this violence come to an end?
We don't like gangs. We don't like wars.
We don't understand what all this fighting is for.
We want to go back to where we came from. We don't want to grow up.
We don't want to grow up.
We don't want to grow up.
