lyrics

The bully has taken the playground
The smallest are trembling in fear
Everyone’s yelling and shoving
And I’m standing here

I’m waiting for them to come running
Aren’t they supposed to arrive?

Where are the grown-ups?
To save the day?
Where are the grown-ups?
To whisk us away?
Somebody’s gotta come clean this mess off the floor
Where are the grown-ups we’ve been waiting for?
Where are the grown-ups?

The bully is building a fortress
For only his friends at the top
He’s slamming the rest into lockers
Please make him stop

I’m looking around for an answer
I thought they’d be here by now

Where are the grown-ups?
To make it okay?
Where are the grown-ups?
To show us the way?
Somebody’s gotta come clean this mess off the floor
Where are the grown-ups we’ve been waiting for?

The kid on my lap won’t stop crying
She’s scared of the man on T.V.
Her small eyes are widened with worry
She turns to me

She’s looking for some kind of answer
And now I have mine

We are the grown-ups
To save the day
We are the grown-ups
To show us the way
We’re not gonna take this bully’s shit anymore
And we’re the grown-ups we’ve been waiting for
My god
We are the grown-ups
We are the grown-ups
So what are we waiting for?
