Fall Is Something Grown-ups Invented Lyrics - Hives

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 its 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 Im on to your scam and Ill 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 Id 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 shouldnt 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
