lyrics

[Ajimbo]
-Verse-
If I just hit the snooze, I can prolong the truth
Can’t bare the bearers of bad news, I miss the ignorance of youth
Trade every holographic card just to go back to start
Before my hairline began receding and there was a god I still believed in
Back when the only thought of war was Bettleborg vs. Megazord
Growing sick of growing up too fast, I miss simplicity of past
-Bridge-
Never thought twice about disease
My biggest worries were skinned knees
But it didn’t require a doctor’s visit
Cause Mamma’s kisses could always fix it
-Chorus-
Woah-oh just to be a kid again
Don’t want the now I want the then
Close your eyes and count to ten
But I’ve forgotten how to play pretend
-Bridge-
What happened to my TV
No longer see shrines of silver monkeys
Never get to climb the aggrocrag
Or pick a giant nose to retrieve the flag
-Chorus-
