Fall Is Just Something Grownups Invented (iTunes and UK Bonus Track)

(Album: The Black And White Album - 2007)

They say our summer vacation
Has come to an end
And that we simply have no more holiday to spend

They say no more barefoot
No playing around in the pool
They say now it's time for us to go back to school

Got all my friends, a teacher, okay
But why do we really have to study all day
Well see I'm on to your scam and I'll tell you how
We ended up with a Fall that we know of now

A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
They gave it a name and we all know it as Fall
The line of the story that I have presented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented.

Though some things in Fall are just too good to pass
Jumping in leaves and Halloween is a gas
But I'd rather see to it that the truth be told
So I better do it now before I grow old

They wanted a break after the summer disarray
To rest up then handle the stress of Christmas day
So the grown-ups got together and made up the rule
That kids shouldn't be playing
No they should be in school

A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
They gave it a name and we all know it as Fall
The line of the story that I have presented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented.

Break

A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
They gave it a name and we all know it as Fall
The line of the story that I have presented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented.

Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
