The time has come to join the ranks
You're all grown up now take your place
Hit the bars and raise your glasses
Here's to a life following the masses
Drink and repeat, every week
The backdrop for every meet and greet
Well if this is what it means to be an adult
I'd rather be dead than join your cult
I want no part in these RITES OF PASSAGE
The path they lead is not where I'm headed
I can't stand these expectations
Putting up with this is trying my patience
No I don't want to get a drink
I've had enough of this just leave me be
And I just can't fucking understand
Why you won't accept me for who I am
I'm not trying to make you change
So why can't you do the same?
I want no part in these RITES OF PASSAGE
The path they lead is not where I'm headed
And if this pressure keeps building
I might need to let off some steam
