Being A Kid

Being a kid is always fun 15, 12, 16 and 1 It doesn't matter what age you are Being a kid is always fun You laugh and joke at school with your friends All you need to do is count a little over ten No bills to pay, no never-ending debt No wonder being a kid isn't even a sweat Mum pays the fees for you to go to school and sleep Don't pay attention and your grades fall dramatically Skip class, don't pass its alright with me Why do all the kids these days think life is a breeze? Being a kid isn't always fun 18, 12 , 16 or 1 It doesn't matter what age you are Being a kid isn't always fun I forgot to do my work and dad's shouting at me I never meant to disappoint I tried my best to be The idealistic academic you've always wanted to see But school's a stress,life's a mess and I'm just a kid you see? My best friend told me I was nothing and walked away from me I'm so depressed I must express I can't concentrate on anything My teachers parents and everyone keep talking about degrees When actually in reality I don't know what to be Being a kid is a mix of stuff Sadness fun confusion and tough The only reason we make it through Is the dream of being independent too Weren't adults kids once too? Going through everything that we do The only thing that's got me talking Is how all the adults have forgotten
