We're only kids

But we need to be

As mature as adults

It's not safe

But we're basically an adult

So we can have adult responsibilities

We can't stay up with friends

When you're not told to act like an adult

Being an adult is nice

When you're not being told you're a little kid

We're kids

Who have to act like

Adults
