I have heard a million places Said from knifed edged grown-up faces We own your body eight to five, boy Do not be late to arrive, boy Keep your nose down to the grindstone And I'm sure you'll grow to be a man
As a young boy, I discovered It was best to run for cover Dreamin' in the weeds was liable To get you the brush and bible Keep your mind on things we've proven And I'm sure you'll grow to be a man
(Child-hood, wild-hood, magic time to play Long years, deep fears please don't take my toys)
You better come home straight from school 'Cause if you break your parents rule There'll be no food, no television And dare you question their decision Forty whacks when father gets home And I'm sure you'll grow to be a man
I left home when I was fifteen And a million things I have seen But I've found no happy men They all want to be boys again And never hear their parents say: "Watch me and you will grow to be a man"
