Why Don't You Just Grow Up

Why don't you just grow up and stop the little tantrums
Why don't you just chill out, why don't you take a pill
There's something more to life than what's contained in your agenda
You voice, 'mein fuhrer' is just a little shrill
Always with the talk
Always with the lecture
There's nothing that is good enough
There's nothing that will do
So stop with the sarcasm, the scorn and the invective
School is out, ya, class is through

If I give you the chance to plead insanity
It's almost like the truth and that will do for some
And when they ask you what it was that drove you to distraction
Say the world just wasn't ready for the 'Son of God' to come
Get off of that high horse, cut the condescension
Don't do me any favours, stop looking down your nose
I'm not overwhelmed by the glory of your presence
Why don't you take a number,
I'll let you know when you are close!

Why don't you just speak plain and drop the innuendo
My eyes are going bad trying to read between your lines
It's very hard to understand just what it is you're saying
When your ideas are only 3s and you tart 'em up as 9s
And when it comes to that,
There's one thing that I've wondered
Who does your thinking for you
Who puts you "In The Know"?
Whoever that guy is, he's getting way to much
When you're handing out the pink slips,
He's the guy that aught to go!
