If you're a teenager

Listen to this

Your best friends, become strangers

Lollipops, turn into cigarettes

Innocent ones turn into sluts

Homework, that shit goes in the trash

Soda, becomes vodka

Kisses, turn into sex

Do you remember when getting high, was swinging on a playground?

When protection, meant wearing a helmet?

When the worst thing you could get from girls or boys was cooties?

This one's for the girls, but when you were sitting on your dads shoulders

It was the highest place on earth

And your mum was your hero

Your worst enemies were your siblings

Race issues, were about who ran the fastest

The only drug you knew, was Panadol

When wearing a skirt, didn't make you a slut

Goodbyes, only meant until tomorrow

We all said we couldn't wait to grow up

What were we thinking..?
