You've got so much life to live
And so much hurt to give
Just don't grow up so fast
Yea, don't grow up so fastTry bein' young when you're young
You'll have time to rest when you're gone
Balancing the wire, now you're holding on
Just let go and take the fallCause mom and dad will be just fine
So follow me back down into the southside
Follow me back down into the southside
Mom and dad will be just fine
So follow me back down into the southside
Follow me back down into the southsideSweet, sweet adolescence
Thought it would be better but it isn't
Sweet disappointmentFighting for the wrong side you figured out
It's never to late to make a difference now
There's nothing that could ever hold you down
Take, take, take, take, take em outSo follow me back down into the southside
Follow me back down into the southside
Mom and dad will be just fine
So follow me back down into the southside
Follow me back down into the southsideLike the feeling of being singled out
I think it's time we run for cover now
Or take, or take the blame. Yea!
It's not a game, and there is no way out
I think it's time we run for cover now
Or take, or take the blameCause mom and dad will be just fine
So follow me back down into the southside
Follow me back down into the southside
And that'll be just fine
So follow me back down into the southside
Follow me back down into the southsideCause mom and dad will be just fine
So follow me back down into the southside
Follow me back down into the southside
Mom and dad will be just fine
So follow me, yea
So follow meGet it (Hey!), get, get, get it right
