I don't want this responsibility And don't use me because I don't agree Why lie, do or die? Why lie, do or? Responsibility? What's that? Responsibility? not quite yet Responsibility? What's that? I don't want to think about it; we'd be better off without it You think I'm so simplistic I'm onto you and your tricks I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way 'Cause growing up won't make everything okay I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way I've got a voice and I've got a lot to say I've got a lot to say
