I smoke to look cool, fit in with my peers;
Be made fun of, or drink bud light beers;
Our options are limited, and so is our time;
Being forever young will suit me just fine;
I can keep making mistakes with no regret;
Then do it again because I haven't learned from them yet;
I don't want to grow old, I don't want responsiblities;
I don't want to fill out applications, where I list my abilities;
I want to live on my own, but don't want to pay rent;
I want to buy without knowing how much money was spent;
Don't stop me now, I'm having too much fun;
But please Lord, let me die young;
