When I grow up / Loaf

Livin' each day like it's my four-thousand-and-fourteenth

Just biding my time, leap when the man says jump

but somewhere deep down and dark, way underneath

I still got ideas 'bout what I'm gonna be when I grow up

[sound of car horn]

I'd like to be the first guy they pay to see every movie

all by myself in my film room in space

then with a bad-ass pipe and a powdered wig so groovy

I rank 'em all from 'Heat' to 'The Man Without a Face'

[sound of phone ringing]

Maybe I'll be a famous explorer of the underwater

discover several new species of poisonous fish

but I'll keep 'em all to myself and invent the elixir

then invite the assholes for dinner and serve a deadly dish

[sound of glass breaking]

Pick up a new hobby of kickin' leather
Have a fat guy pass me a ball from between his legs
my team wears tight pants and helmets all together
only work on Sunday after bacon and eggs

[robot voice] When he fake punts

[sound of screeching tires]

I'll be a man on the run with my head on a swivel
gun tucked under my pillow every night of the week
that way when my girl wakes me to check out of the hotel
I can pull a gun on her each time and watch her freak

[sound of gun shot]

I'll be the guy that starts fads like wearing shirts backwards

all the hot shit freaks lookin' to me for the next hot shit trend

the I'll laugh my ass off at people's funerals

and the rest of the world will never cry again

[robot voice] How'd you know Kevin?

[sound of subway door closing]

See no matter what I do today or how the years pass
there's no need to sweat about drowning in my cup
I keep my options open, stay a huddled of the mass
haven't figured out what I'll do the day I grow up

[sound of man falling down the stairs]
