Ariel Pink - Good Kids Make Bad Grown Ups Lyrics

how does that incredibly surprise part in the song go? "dop dee dop a doop a WEEEEEEN!! Hey doo a looby doop! Darp ee doop a darp a WEEEN!!"

The tape this thing was recorded on has seen shit.

This song fills me with a sadness I can’t describe.

i dont wanna grow up

To hell with Tyler the creator? Who is she again
Lol

Like if you're here because Ariel Pink is.

Solid fucking gold. Paper currency may collapse, but this will never lose it's true value.

When I first heard this like eight or so years ago, it was the first thing I ever heard from Ariel after having downloaded the album...I never heard anything like it before and it changed everything for me for years to come. Maybe now at the close of 2017 it almost sounds "normal" with its bedroom recording quality, technique and affinity for collaging the past but I can never shake the feeling of when I first heard it. I still think it stands out.

me pasa lo mismo

Amazing opening to an amazing album. This and Strange Fires always get me in the mood to be weird

They say that part of growing up is
Getting a job
Well, I don't wanna grow up
They say part of being young is
Going to school
Well, I'd rather throw up

They used to say I was a good kid
Now I'm a good kid
Did that by staying in school
But now they say that I'm a dumb man
'Cause I'm a good kid
Don't you understand?

They say part of being grown is
Having your way
I guess I'll be a grown up today
They also say that the key to being grown
Is staying young
I don't wanna grow up

They say that young boys got it easy
Just try to please me,
And you can get your way
But I won't be nobody's baby.
'Cause I'm so lazy,
And I happen to be me

Won't you believe
The terrors deep inside won't come out

They should have told met hat being so good
Would make me so bad
But nobody knew, no
Growing up is not as half as fun as
Growing down
The other way I'm...
(Under the ground,
under the ground, oh)

They used to say I was a bad kid
I'm glad that they did
Now I play all the time
Now people say I grew up early
I better hurry
'Cause good kids make bad grown ups

And part of the artistic process is going berserk
But I don't wanna blow up
They say that part of growing up is getting a job
I don't wanna grow up!

They used to say I was a bad kid
I'm glad that they did
Now I can play all the time
Now people say I grew up early
I better hurry
'Cause good kids -

Won't you believe
We'll help you in the night
'Til we come home

Won't you conceive
We'll find you when you're home,
Just out of reach

sounds like 80s Bowie sped up/played through a transistor radio

3rd March Electric Ballroom Camden London. Can't wait!

lolol 'on weed' ........ 

this...

Have you ever listened to Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti?
Have you ever listened to Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti ON WEED? 

This is one of few artists today, who give me hope for music the future of music, and life in general. I have just never heard anything like this, obviously there are all kinds of late 70s and 80s pop influence but its so strange I believe it definitely is a new breed of punk almost. High Five to whomever had the brains to load this up. 

You are not alone :)

+Maxwell Dean sic alps... psychedelic horseshit a couple others you may be interested in

Ariel is creative. If you're talking about Tyler, he's all aesthetic and shock value.

Not anymore.

you're a fucking idiot. I said he was creative.

This man!!! saved my life!

i like loiter squad, and tyler seems like a cool/funny person. However, I don't think he is a very good rapper

same thing

I have no idea why you guys are insulting Tyler the Creator for paying homage to one of his favorite artists.

Why are you guys talking shit? You've probably never even listened to him. He's one of the most creative artists out. He's so unique and different it's incredible.

Damn, I tried so hard to like this song, I just can't...

tyler sent me

If you truly believe that then I am sure that you are a terrible recognition of talent and ability, either that or you're ignorant and haven't spent the time to look past more then "Yonkers." Go listen to "Blow", "Parade", "Bimmer", "48", "Her", "Answer", "Cowboy", and "Treehome95" Educate yourself before you begin talking about something you know nothing about.

I like it Ariel, though maybe try to record something being sober :D

stop mentioning this lego maniac and get on with your life

tyler the fagnator, what? No dude. No, get your history correct.

1:26 when I first heard this and on for the first time I knew I found an absolute genius of a musician.

You're funny dude, trend means his buzz would've died after Goblin dropped. I'm an independent thinker and listen to whatever i choose and please. Ariel Pink is one of my fav artist, but when you start throwing out comments like that, that kinda stuff pisses me off. But i don't argue on Youtube, I'm too old for it, so whatever dude.

Ummm he does... sorry to break it to ya. I know he borrowed the title for a line but sheesh.

Dude... Really?

Posso ouvir essa faixa o dia inteiro. Viciei em Ariel Pink's !!

uniquely obnoxious troll. <3.

Ariel Pink actually said his Lo-Fi sound was partly accidental due to poor production

@Debaser11 of course not!! Ariel is so good an only a few deservs to listen and enjoy this!! ... is the esence of Lo-Fi

One of the best songs of all time.
I love you Ariel.
