Get Over It (song)

Hey remember that boy

He was blonde

And I don't remember

What was going on

And one day it ended

And he said "Dont be sad"

And I kind of smiled

'Cause I was pretty glad

 

Hey remember that boy

His hair was curled

And he smiled at me

And it was like the whole world

And he said "Let's read now

I know this great book"

And he never loved me

But I was hooked

 

Hey remember that boy

Who's hair stood on end

He was real cute

But was just a passing trend

And he said "Hey baby

How you doin' tonight?"

And I said "Well dearie

I guess I'm alright."

 

Then

They

Got older

Then

They

Got grown

Then

The adults

Came on over

And they said

There is something

That you ought to know

 

"The adults

Aren't as smart

As you think"

And the lines

We had drawn

Got so blurry

And they said

"The adults

Don't rule the world"

And we said,

Well we thought

We didn't rule it either

 

Hey remember that girl

She was kind of short

And she wore too much purple

But she packed so much force

And she said "Oh hell no

I can defend myself

I'll have his stupid head

Up on my shelf"

 

Hey remember that girl

Her hair wasn't red

And she'd make up silly jokes

'Bout bein' in bed

And she was so sweet

So innocent

And yet there were no clouds

In her head

 

Hey remember that girl

Who grew up feeling small

And one day she looked down

And realized she was tall

And she said "I'm mature now

I'm all grown up"

And everyone swallowed

Her little bluff

 

And

Then

They got older

And

They

Got grown

Then

The adults

Came on over

And they said

"There's something

That you ought to know"

 

"The adults

Are smarter

Than you'll ever be"

But that didn't stop

The lines

From blurring

And they said

"The adults

Rule the world

But that didn't stop

Her from stepping up

To the voting booth

 

Hey remember that boy

He was too damn smart

And he said "Sarah listen,

It's all just an art.

There is no other world

It's all one big mess

Of adults and children

Who just can't confess"

 

And then he looked up at me

And then he looked out

He said "Sarah, get over it

The future is now."
