Because We’re Kids

[Verse 1]
Now just because we're kids
Because we're sort of small
Because we're closer to the ground
And you are bigger by the pound
You have no right, you have no right
To push and shove us little kids around

[Verse 2]
Now just because your throat
Has got a deeper voice
And lots of wind to blow it out
At little kids who don't dare shout
You have no right, you have no right
To boss and beat us little kids about

[Verse 3]
Just because you've whiskers on your face to shave
You treat us like a slave
So what? It's only hair
Just because you wear a wallet near your heart
You think you're twice as smart
You know it isn't fair

[Verse 4]
But we'll grow up someday
And when we do, I pray
We won't just grow in size and sound
And just be bigger by the pound
I'd hate to grow like some I know
Who push and shove us little kids around

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Just because you've whiskers on your face to shave
You treat us like a slave
So what? It's only hair
Just because you wear a wallet near your heart
You think you're twice as smart
You know it isn't fair

[Verse 6]
But we'll grow up someday
And when we do, I pray
We won't just grow in size and sound
And just be bigger by the pound
I'd hate to grow like some I know
Who push and shove the little kids around
Just because we're kids
