As a Beastie Boy
I'll be stable
Be on the Wii
People know me
Don't take offense
Can I commence
rip it up to shreds an l'nickle
Don't take offense
Can I make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Don't take offense
Let's mend a fence
Rip it up to shreds of evidence!
Don't take offense
Let's make amends
Rip it up to shreds and let it go.
Don't take offense
Better make a mess.
Don't take offense
Can I make amends?
Don't take the feds
Can I lick my meds?
Rip it all to shreds
And lady go.
Don't take offense
Can I make amends?
Rip it all to shreds
And let it go.
I don't walk into the tables.
When I grow up I'll be stable.
I hope I'm not too shret to let it go.
Rip it all to shreds and let it go.
Like a rock
When I grow up
Trying hard to fenamung you
Trying hard to fit among you
We're all too shrekked to let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Well I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
When I grow up I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have boobies
When I grow up I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies
When I grow up I wanna see the world, drive nice cars. I wanna have boobies.
When I grow up I wanna see the world, drive nice cars. I wanna have groupies.
When I grow up I won't hit walls Ride to Mars I wanna have boobies
When I grow up I wanna see the world Drive nice cars I wanna have groupies
When I grow up I'll be Steve Waugh
When I grow up I'll be stable
When I grow up, I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have b***ies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have bookies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
When I grow up, I'll be more able.
When I grow up, I'll be stable.
When I grow up, I'll turn the tables.
When I grow up, I'll be stable.
When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have boobies
When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies
When I throw up to be a man
When I grow up to be a man
I want to have bookies.
I want to have groupies.
