Photosynthesis (Songbook Version)

Photosynthesis (Songbook Version) - Frank Turner

Written by：Frank Turner

Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old

All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold

All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand

All my friends are getting married mortgages and pension plans

And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done

And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become

But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game

Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same

And I won't sit down

And I won't shut up

And most of all I will not grow up

And I won't sit down

And I won't shut up

And most of all I will not grow up

Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems

And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams

All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will

Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled

Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great

About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate

About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity

Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me

And I won't sit down

And I won't shut up

And most of all I will not grow up

And I won't sit down

And I won't shut up

And most of all I will not grow up

And if all you ever do with your life

Is photosynthesize

Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights

That you waste wondering when you're gonna die

Now I'll play and you sing

The perfect way for the evening to begin

Now I'll play and everybody will sing

The perfect way for the evening to begin

And I won't sit down

And I won't shut up

And most of all I will not grow up

And I won't sit down

And I won't shut up

And most of all I will not grow up

And I won't sit down

And I won't shut up

And most of all I will not grow up
