When We Remember When
Every Wrong Thing

Stand straight, stand in line,
your tie tied right and your shoes all shined.
Pull all your hair back and don’t speak your mind—
that’s what they say.

Slow down, look ahead.
You’ve got to eat your peas and make your bed.
Don’t ask for no one’s help, do it yourself instead—
that’s what they say.

But I’m not the kind who likes to listen,
you and I have listened long enough.
What do you say we both go missing?
Do every wrong thing that we can think of.

Keep right, stay in your lane.
Put the top up when it starts to rain.
Don’t let them see you sweat, never show the strain—
that’s what they say.

Cut once, measure twice.
Never pay the asking price.
We don’t care how you feel, just act nice—
that’s what they say.

But I’m not the kind who likes to listen,
you and I have listened long enough.
What do you say we both go missing?
Do every wrong thing that we can think of.

Who says grownups must be grown up
every day, all the time?
Would it be so wrong, if we could go wrong?
Live a little more as the years advance
Break a few rules, baby, take a chance, oh

I’m not the kind who likes to listen,
you and I have listened long enough.
What do you say we both go missing?
Do every wrong thing that we can think of.
