Photosynthesis (songbook Version) Lyrics - Frank Turner

One, two, one, two, three 

Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old 

All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold 

All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand 

All my friends are getting married 

Mortgages and pension plans 

And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done 

And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become 

But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game 

Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same 

And I won't sit down 

And I won't shut up 

And most of all I will not grow up 

And I won't sit down 

And I won't shut up 

And most of all I will not grow up

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems 

And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams 

All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will 

Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled 

Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great 

About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate 

about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity 

Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me 

And I won't sit down 

And I won't shut up 

And most of all I will not grow up 

And I won't sit down 

And I won't shut up 

And most of all I will not grow up 

And if all you ever do with your life 

Is photosynthesize 

Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights 

That you waste wondering when you're gonna die 

Photos 

Now I'll play and you sing 

The perfect way for the evening to begin 

Now we'll play and everybody will sing 

The perfect way for the evening to begin 

And I won't sit down 

And I won't shut up 

And most of all I will not grow up 

And I won't sit down 

And I won't shut up 

And most of all I will not grow up 

And I won't sit down 

And I won't shut up 

And most of all I will not grow up
