Cicada - Silverchair

When he was just a little boy

He only had one favourite toy

And he had nothing on his mind

He never left anything behind, no

As he got older, things got worse

Like he had been born under a curse

Things started to fall apart

They went like they were at the start, no

It’s like a civil war, growing up

It’s like a civil war, don’t turn away

It’s something you can’t ignore, growing up

It’s like a civil war

And now that he was in his teens

He started to learn live of his means

Problems were staying, appearin'

They didn’t look like disappearin'

It’s like a civil war, growing up

It’s like a civil war, don’t turn away

It’s something you can’t ignore, growing up

Growing up, it’s like a civil war

Don’t turn away, it’s something you can’t ignore
