Stoop Kids - 17-35 lyrics

[VERSE 1] Now I'm too young to die, not old enough to vote Next year you're gonna choke from the cigarette smoke Got a diploma, cap and gown Gonna do your best not to make your dad frown The next four years is of downin' beers, Taking off braziers, doing d** with peers But it appears that you're here for an internship So you can get a “good job” and a house to split Now you're twenty five, feeling alive ‘jive at a dive after your nine to five' You got a girlfriend, she may have moved in She said, “f** the kitchen, I'm a career woman” Then one night after gla**es of wine You pa**ed the band, you asked the line You've turned thirty two, hate what you do Your marriage ain't stale, but it sure ain't new [CHORUS] Goodbye Seventeen to thirty five Goodbye Heavenly dreams of youth tonight [VERSE 2] I used to think I needed Some type of life like that Let my neighbors hear me with a Gatsby type of laugh I could take the cake and slice the pie in half And no one would ever question why Except for dear old I The only trouble is with that life It's overly­-prescribed, very trite It's the morphine or the knife before you die [CHORUS] Goodbye Seventeen to thirty five Goodbye Heavenly dreams of youth tonight
