Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We're not the first

I hope we're not the last

'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash

The time is so little

The time belongs to us

Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?

[Verse 2]

Make do with what you have

Take what you can get

Pay no mind to us

We're just a minor threat

[Verse 3]

We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

[Verse 4]

I was early to finish

I was to late to start

I might be an adult

I'm a minor at heart

Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal?

It's not how old I am

It's how old I feel

[Verse 5]

Take your time

Try not to forget

We never will

We're just a minor threat

[Verse 6]

We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat
