[Verse 1]Don't let the kids winJust let them loseThey're not gonna learn anythingIf that's the way you choose to playDon't let the kids winJust let them fallYou don't want 'em growing up thinkingTwo-year-olds are good at playing basketball[Verse 2]Don't let your grandmother dieWhile you're awayA cheap trip to Thailand's not gonna make upFor never getting to say goodbyeAnd don't let your brotherStop thinking you're coolYeah, I know, he's got a girlfriend now and he's tallerBut that don't mean he's stopped looking up to you[Chorus]And I've got a feelingThat this won't ever changeWe're gonna keep on getting olderIt's gonna keep on feeling strange[Verse 3]Don't let your friends turn coldWhile you burn to greenWhen they walk off the stage, embrace themAnd say, "That's the best shit I've ever seen"And don't let your sisterWalk down the aisleWithout pulling her close, saying, "I love you"And, "It's okay if I don't see you for a while"[Chorus]And I've got a feelingThat this won't ever changeWe're gonna keep on getting olderIt's gonna keep on feeling strange[Verse 4]And don't let the time go byWithout sitting your mother downAnd asking what life was like for herBefore you came to be aroundAnd tell her it's okayIf she puts herself firstUs kids, we'll be alrightIf we're not the centre of her universe[Chorus]And I've got a feelingThat this won't ever changeWe're gonna keep on getting olderIt's gonna keep on feeling strange[Outro]And after a late oneI don't know anythingExcept the more I keep on talkingThe less breath I got left to sing
