"I'm an Adult Now" by The Pursuit of Happiness off Love Junk


Well, I don't hate my parents
I don't get drunk just to spite 'em
I got my own reasons to drink now
Think I'll call my dad up and invite him
I can sleep in till noon any time I want
Though there's not many days that I do
Gotta get up and take on that world
When you're an adult, it's no cliche,
 it's the truth

 'Cause I'm an adult now
 I'm an adult now
 I've got the problems of an adult
 On my head and on my shoulders
 I'm an adult now

I can't even look at young girls anymore
People will think I'm some kind of pervert
Adult sex is either boring or dirty
Young people they can get away with murder
I don't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl, boy loses girl
More like, man tries to understand
 what the hell went wrong

 Chorus

I can't take anymore illicit drugs
I can't afford any artificial joy
I'd sure look like a fool dead in a
 ditch somewhere
With a mind full of chemicals,
 like some cheese-eating high school boy

 Chorus

Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes
 my stomach hurts
And I guess that it won't be long
Till I'm sitting in a room with a bunch
 of people who's necks and backs are aching
Who's sight and hearings fading
Who just can't seem to get it up
Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much
 loud music
I mean I like to play it, but I sure
 don't like the racket
Noise, but I can't hear anything
Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
Some guy screaming in a leather jacket

 Chorus
