When he was just a little boy

He only had one favorite toy

And he had nothing on his mind

He never left anything behind

No…

As he got older, things got worse

Like he’d been born under a curse

Things started to fall apart

They weren’t like they were at the start

No, it’s like a civil war

Chorus:

Growing up

It’s like a civil war

Don’t turn away

It’s something you can’t ignore

Growing up

It’s like a civil war

And now that he was in his teens

He’d started to learn what life means

Problems were still appearing

They didn’t look like disappearing

No…

Repeat Chorus
