This is a recording of a live performance from a long time ago. I never got around to making a full "studio" version of this song. Would probably sound good with a full arrangement.

Lyrics
When I Grow Up

When I grow up don't wanna be who I am now
I wanna be like Superman, I wanna be like Thurston Howel
I'll be the man with Mary Ann
I'll have an Island all my own like Dr No
Before I'm old

I've got some issues, yes, I know
When I grow up I'll have them solved
To everything we thought I'd be
Just what do you expect from me?

When I grow up don't wanna drink myself to sleep
I wanna pill that makes me look cool to the girls on my tv
So long to dreams and big ambitions
there'll be no need I'll have it all in the end
before I'm old

I've got some issues, yes, I know
When I grow up I'll have them solved
To everything we thought I'd be
Just what do you expect from me?

And when I'm old don't wanna pass away in bed
I wann ride a nuclear missile just like Slim Pickens did
And everything I've ever done, and everything I've ever said will all make perfect sense
before I'm dead

I've got some issues, yes, I know
When I grow up I'll have them solved
To everything we thought I'd be
Just what do you expect from me?
Just what do you expect from me?
To hell with all these stupid dreams

That's some splendid songwriting. The line "And everything I've ever done, and everything I've ever said will all make perfect sense before I'm dead"... Bravo.
