Wish I Were A Child Again



Wish I Were A Child Again is a song off of Adult Entertainment.

Lyrics
chorus: Wish I were a child again, right back in my mama's arms With the big kids in this world actin' so crazy I wish I were a little boy When I was two, I felt so secure. Plumped but happy, naive but self-assured; And now all this growing up stuff just leave me dizzy And I wish I was a little boy.

Sand in a sandbox, a bathtub and a boat, Chew a bunch of bubble gum to keep the thing afloat; A castle for my home, a bucket round my head, A long day at the beach will your bum red; Room and board are free, the meals are served on time, Spend an afternoon deciding how to spend the dime; No worries 'bout the rent or payments on the car, No need to be confused about the why of who you are

chorus:

What used to pass for candy is now a hole inside my tooth The dreams they tried to sell me were just a smokescreen 'round the truth. Don't you know it takes a lot to keep from giving up This day to day frustration of a bitter second cup. The news is all around, our world is full of fire and hate. It isn't all too early to sense the hour is late. And what kind of time is this to think of having kids The future's lookin' shaky and the present gives me fits

chorus:
