Everybody's Gotta Grow Up Sometime

Why can't I?

G.I. Joe moved to Mexico, he's hiding from the IRS

Wearing diamond rings and livin' like a king at an undisclosed address

Superman flew to Japan and gave up fightin' crime

He's doin' commercials for compact cars, livin' in a big high rise

But everybody's gotta grow up sometime

To get a little slice of that big old American pie

Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime

Why can't I?

The old Lone Ranger bought an RV park somewhere in Arizona

And Tonto built a big casino and owns half of Oklahoma

Barbie and Ken, they got a divorce, I guess that's the way it goes

She got the house and accessories and told Ken to hit the road

But everybody's gotta grow up sometime

To get a little slice of that big old American pie

Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime

Why can't I?

Why can't I?

All of my heroes abandoned their egos

And left me at home on the range

I'm still stuck and I'm still down on my luck

Waitin' for something to change

Everybody's gotta grow up sometime

To get a little slice of that big old American pie

Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime

Why can't I?
