Act My Age - The Argument

All the stuff I swore would never even cross my mind

Starts to crowd my head as soon as I’m 25

I’m old enough to realize I’ve got some growin' up to do

Oh no, but not just yet

I have to get a second job 'cause I don’t make enough

My bank accounts overdrawn and my credit sucks

I’m holding out for paid vacation days and a 401k plan

But I don’t know what that is

I don’t ever want to get myself together and act my age

I don’t ever want to get my shit together and act my age

Attention span’s too short for the radio

But long enough to make it through a music video

I wanna go back to the days when all the rules were mine to make

Do over, let’s start again

I don’t ever want to get myself together and act my age

I don’t ever want to get my shit together and act my age

Bridge:

Why can’t we just play pretend?

C’mon I’ll be your best friend

I’ll tell you every place I hide

Cover my face but I stare between

My fingers at the scary scenes

And try to find a chair before the music stops

I don’t ever want to get myself together and act my age

I won’t ever… show me where it says I have to act my age

I won’t ever act my age

I won’t ever act my age
