It ain't gonna get any easier

So you think it’s gonna get easier as you get older?
Well, guess what? It’s only gonna get worse
You know that guy you said would be your one and only?
I promise you, he’s only your first

You think it’s unfair your allowance went down?
Wait till you have to make budget cutbacks
You think three months of summer ain’t enough?
Wait till you have kids and no time to relax

You think your parents play unfair?
Wait till you meet your first boss
You say you need more time to do your hair?
Wait till you hit hair loss

Kid, you’re way too young to smoke
You should be playing hopscotch on your front yard
You think you’re oh-so-cool with that stash of dope?
Wait till the aftershocks get you hard

Don’t wish to grow up so you can do what you want
Because more often than not what you want isn’t what you’ll need
You think you’ll have money to waste and flaunt
Well guess what? You’ll soon have mouths to feed.

So you think skinned knees and sprained ankles are bad?
Well wait till old age gets your joints through and through
So be careful what you wish for, kid
Because whether you like it or not, it will come true
