Society instructs us to grow up so fast,
Childhood not built to last.
In Fisher Price kitchens as we play house,
Our biggest fear catching louse.
From that play kitchen to one that's real,
And worries are now mortgage and bills.
At the age of 20 we're filled with dread,
Of the grown up worries that fill our heads.
