Julia Jacklin Don't Let the Kids Win song lyrics

Don't let the kids win, just let them lose

they're not gonna learn anything

if that's all you choose to play.

dont let the kids win, just let them fall

don't want them growing up thinking

two year olds are good at playing basketball

don't let your grandmother die while you're away,

cheap trip to thailsnd's not gonna make up for never getting to say goodbye

don't let your brother stop thinking you're cool

yeah i know he's got a girlfriend now and he's taller but that don't mean he stopped looking up to you

and i've got a feeling that this won't ever change, we're gonna keep on getting older

it's gonna keep on feeling strange

don't let your friends turn cold

while you burn to green

when they walk off a stage, embrace them and say that's the best shit i've ever seen

and don't let your sister walk down the aisle

without pulling her close saying i love you and it's okay if i don't see you for a while

and i've got a feeling that this won't ever change, we're gonna keep on getting older

it's gonna keep on feeling strange

don't let the time go by without sitting your mother down and asking what life was like for her before you came to be around and tell her it's okay if she puts herself first, us kids will be alright if we're not the centre of her universe

and i've got a feeling that this won't ever change, we're gonna keep on getting older

it's gonna keep on feeling strange

and after a late one, i don't know anything

except the more i keep on talking the less breath i got left to sing
