Growing Up In Public Lyrics - Reed Lou

Some people are into the power of power 

The absolute corrupting power, that makes great men insane 

While some people find their refreshment in action 

The manipulation, encroachment and destruction of their inferiors 

Growing up in public, growing up in public 

Growing up in public, growing up in public with your pants down 

Some people are into sadistic pleasures 

They whet their desires and drool in your ears 

They're quasi-effeminate characters in love with oral gratification 

They edify your integrities, so they can play on your fears 

They're gonna do you in public, 'cause you're growing up in public 

They're gonna do it to you in public, 

'Cause you're growing up in public with your pants down 

Some people think being a man is unmanly 

Some people think that the whole concept's a joke 

But some people think being a man is the whole point 

And then some people wish they'd never awoke 

Up from a dream of nightmarish proportions 

Down to a size neither regal nor calm 

A Prince Hamlet caught the middle between reason and instinct 

Caught in the middle with your pants down again 

Caught in the middle, I'm really caught in the middle 

I'm caught in the middle, caught in the middle deciding about you
