All my friends are dropping like flies

Becoming what they always despised

Hanging up their boots

Changing their attitudes



All my friends are dropping like flies

The gleam is gone from their eyes

But I just cant let go

To the life that we led before



Turned your back on all our hopes and dreams

Everything came busting at the seams

Never gonna let it happen to me

Never gonna let it happen to me



All my friends are dropping like flies

They just didnt realize

This so-called growing up

Just means giving up



Turned your back on all our hopes and dreams

Everything came busting at the seams

Never gonna let it happen to me

Never gonna let it happen to me
