Emancipation Proclamation

[Verse 1]

Emancipation Proclamation

No bedtime stories or family vacations

I get caught being rude in your one way conversation

Ain't got no video games, no cigarettes to take away

[Pre-Chorus]

I just need to be on my own

Promise I'll call you on the phone

I just need to be on my own

Don't you worry about me

[Chorus]

Ain't growing up too fast

But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like

I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone

Sign the papers, Mom

Yeah, sign the papers, Mom

(Yeah)

[Verse 2]

Imagination, all creation

Like lions mating, making cubs, you gotta raise them

Used to eating at the table, now I'm left microwaving

Can't help lying 'bout my age to the older generations

[Pre-Chorus]

I just need to be on my own

Promise I'll call you on the phone

I just need to be on my own

'Cause you doubt I was born free

[Chorus]

Ain't growing up too fast

But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like

I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone

Sign the papers, Mom

Yeah, sign the papers, Mom

[Bridge]

'Cause I'm really right this time

I've made up my mind

Know what I want and I can't waste no time

I never meant to leave you behind

Never even felt afraid, got to pay my own way

Got to go out and make my own mistakes

And like a flower I will grow (Hey)

[Chorus]

Ain't growing up too fast

But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like

I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone

Sign the papers, Mom

Ain't growing up too fast

But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like

I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone

Sign the papers, Mom

Yeah, sign the papers, Mom
