Aaron Simon Gross Lyrics
"Becoming A Man"

*Line not sung
Evan: *My name is Evan Goldman I live at 224 West Ninety 2nd
Street in the heart of Manhattan and my life just when to hell

Evan: Picture me just another cool kid in NYC near
the park and MET life is sweet Yankees in the Bronx,
pretzels on the street just have good can it get?
Who'd have guessed Dad would meet a stewardess moms
depressed and her lawyers are mean now I'm stressed
life is a disaster and I'm cracking from the strain
going totally insane and I'm just about to turn just
about to turn God I'm gonna turn

Everyone: 13

Evan: Everything switches

13

Everything turns around

13

End up in stitches

13

Hide away underground

13

Can i get through it?

13

Life has changed over night

13

How will I do it? Nothing is going right

Everyone: The best and the worest and the most and
the least and the crazy and the scarry and were the standing on the edge

Evan: *You wanna talk about turning I've got hair growing
in places I didnt know were places plus my parents
are splitting up plus plus i have to have my bar mitzvah
the one event that defines you the jewish superbowl

Evan: 12 yrs old everything that used to be good as
gold starts to crumble and crack

Evan, Richie, Simon: Pressure mounts once it was a
joke now it really counts and there's no turning back

Evan,Richie, Simon, Cassie, and Charolette: Life goes wrong

Simon: Suddenly their yelling cause your hairs too long

Cassie: Or your room isn't clean

All 5: Roll a long

Evan: Every conversation is another lost cause or a
list of flaws and I'm just about to turn just to turn God I'm gonna turn

Everyone: 13

Richie: I want a dirtbike

13

Lucy: I wanna kill my ma

13

Eddie: I want a mustache

13

Cassie: I want a wonder bra

13

Can I get through it?

13

All of the grown-up stuff

13

How will do it?

13

When am I old enough

Everyone: Why is the world feeling suddenly stranger?
Why are my friends acting totally weird?
Why do I feel like my life is in danger?
Why do I feel like my brain dissapeared?

Molly: How will I get through a year of spanish?

Simon: How can I not look dumb track?

Brett: How do I gain 20 pounds by Friday?

Malcom: How do I make my voice not crack?

Everyone: I wanna fly wanna run wanna drive wanna get
rich wanna get drunk wanna get out wanna get my braces
off wanna get my nose wanna grow my hair long but all I keep hearing is
