I played this song when I turned 30. Then 40. And now, here I am at 50. How the hell did I get here so soon? Tom is a goddamn genius.
I'm 3 years behind you.... Seems like my 20s were just a few short years ago. Almost feels like time speeds up as we age
Posting 12-7-22. I'll be 60 next June 10. Where DID the time go?! Happy 73rd to Tom Waits and many more! Thanks for part of the lyrics "How the hell did I get here so soon?" I never knew what he was saying before.
It honestly seems like after 30 time just starts moving at warp speed.
Haha same, coming up on 47 goin on 18
Uh it's not his song lol
As the saying goes, “Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.”
I just turned 63 and I still haven't grown up I still do the things I've always done..So if you think you are OLD REMEMBER YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE & YOU ALWAYS WILL BE YOUNG AT HEART.. YOUR OLE FRIEND..
46 here, couldn't explain it better. CHEERS!!!
Tom just saved my life for at least one more night. I am so glad he wrote this.
@@ardrielsjk3616 pretty self explanatory
Are you in your twenties? if so, hang in there. It get's easier. And you can find something if you want to. Of course you might need professionel help if it's a clinical depression, but so or so i'd recommend sports. And( controversial, i know, but) try magic mushrooms. But do so, when you are not in a bad or depressive mood and at a place you feel comfortable and if not alone then only with people you know and trust and don't bring you down (Just do your research). Not recreationally. I'm serious. It might help you to sort things out.
I thought it was the ramones cover
@@cprXcor nope. Ramones covered tom waits
@@chris73brown that's badass then
This actually isn’t a music video. This is Tom’s day-to-day life and a camera just happened to be there to see it
As a person who's 20s are almost over, who is still having a tough time reconciling myself with adulthood and aging, this song brings me to tears.
Just wait 'til your thirties are on their way out, kiddo . . .
@@couplakooks Or your fifties...
Next year, i'll be 30.
Hurts a lot.
Why is it you turn 20 but you hit 30?
@@darrelldourte9455 Perhaps because of Logan's Run.
Tom Waits always sounds like a drunk performing on open mic night at 1am...and I love it.
He makes it work better than any drunk I've ever heard
The magic is that Waits didn't have to, but chose to sound like this.
@@KthuLew It shouldn't work but it does.
His collaboration with Primus was also great.
@@darntootin6423 i'll check it out later. Thanks for the tip
I was taking a class at the Old Town School of Folk Music here in Chicago. We were discussing projection of emotion in song, and I brought up this one. The instructor said "Exactly! Tom Waits is a million years old, but when he says 'I don't wanna grow up' you believe him."
😂 genius
Hell yeah
@@Evilakuuuuu You must be fun at parti- oh, wait. You don’t get invited to those because of comments like this.
@@Evilakuuuuu But it’s mine, and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to. 🤪
I mean, he was only 42 when he made this album, but he's always seemed old: as he says in another song, "look 47 but I'm 24".
The when "I see my parents fight, I don't wanna grow up" part gets me in the feels. My parents arguing and fighting made me want to live alone when I grew up. Now, I do.
Same. My grandparents, my dad and every woman he dated... I am not continuing that cycle.
Coincidentally Tom shares a birthday with my best friend who unfortunately passed away at the young age of 20 in the beginning of 2020. Both him and Tom are born on December 7th. So listening to this song always makes me emotional because my buddy didn’t grow up. Rest In Peace bro
This song just popped in my head randomly today. Dec. 7, 2022. Hope your friend is at peace.
May his memory be eternal.
My daughter is born on December 7
She is a marathon runner. She too loves this song
That clean tone OVER the distortion is amazing
The young and the old playing music together. Your adult self keeping your pure child self alive, that's how i hear it anyway. And there are many people listening to Tom Waits and in this comment section keeping that spark alive. Keeping that clean tone alive throughout their distortion. We should always be holding the hand of our younger self, our essence. Trouble is a lot of people don't realize that they let go.
@@alexwells6876 wow! Never thought of it like that. Thanks! That's amazing to think about.
Yeah Im curious how he got that effect
@@charliegrsgenius mixer
@@charliegrs it sounds like a semi hollow/hollow body electric guitar playing through a distorted amp, but the vocal mic is picking up the acoustic part of the guitar as well
Lyrics... When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up
Thank you!
Cheers!

Thank you!
I think the 2nd last phrase is How the Hell did HE get here so soon?, which changes things a little. 😅
How the hell did I get here so soon
This hit way too hard.
Sometimes I listen to this song and tears just fall out. I feel the song deep into my bone, adult life is hard.
Same
Try Song to the Siren , This mortal coil , I ran out of tears....
I'm with you on that. Thus song always fu ks me up. But I love it
Yes, but i think today's kids are much more deprived of some things that their elders had...It's very sad time for all generations today :(
I was driving home from a long weekend of drinking up in Chico state. As I was driving and thinking of my brother who recently had died I just burst into tears. Had to pull off the road and let it out. Thank you Tom for this gem of a song. It means everything.
I love the Ramones version of this song. This song has lyrics that today, at 44 years of age, make perfect sense to me. Thank you Tom Waits for making an old man emotional every time he hears this song.
Hey I'm 44 too and I am not an old man. Like Dylan said I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
75 and still a kid at heart! Love it.
No sorry sir but he is from 1949 .. so it’s 71 here this year.. I sorry if I am Nick picking but it’s gonna be correct.. I think 🤔
@@bacht4799 Right you are. I'm posting December 7, 2021, which is Mr. Waits' 72nd birthday. Here's hoping he has many more!
@@bacht4799 this person may have referring to themselves.
@@proned2stoned oh sorry I didn’t think of that.. my bad
I was so old then, I'm much younger now. --Osho, I think
When I grow up... I wanna be Tom Waits!
@Voeding 2.0 well, it's Tom Waits.... and he makes art dangerous.... real dangerous! Nobody sings a Cohen tune like Tommy!
3/8/2021 I turned ... 67 ..... today. 😳 😢 .... Always knew this song by the gods - *THE RAMONES.* 🤘Had no idea it was a cover & written by Tom Waits, no less! This song: forever one of my theme songs & at 67 ... I will NEVER grow up. Play hard, ignore rules, take reasonable risks. Life is too fckn short, kids!
Omg the Ramones! ,😍😍
Waits version is superior in every way. Not a slight on them
Its a great song but imo its not a typical Tom Waits song. So me too heard the Ramones version first and thought they wrote it. Anyway, I love Tom Waits and I love the Ramones.
Will u rply me I don't think :( I am suffering from negative folks around me who trying to make me like everyone else 🥺 I don't wnt to grow up but I don't give up
Thought Ramones wrote it lol. Seems like they should have. Guess they agreed
It's amazing to remember this video was in very heavy rotation on MTV and was a radio hit. Always loved this and had this record.
I don't think Tom ever grew up... and that's a great thing
Tom still dresses exactly the same as he did when he was 7. True story.
He's happily married with children.
Think what sort of a child he was then.
I. Love u tom

ive been working at a cemetery lately and this is my jam when im rolling up.
Greg Avila this comment sounds like a lyric from one of his songs lol
@@dylanthrillmour866 Thank you most of the time people just point out my spelling mistakes.
dream job!!
On my days off I ride the ruckus over to the cemetery to see the family. They are all there - all of them. I like to talk for a while, and so forth. Its kind of like a therapy session, not unlike a Waits record. By the way, cemeteries are quiet, and peaceful, and a great place to get away from living people. And during a pandemic the living people are the ones that you need to avoid. PSA, Miami. Bless.
@@Gregory_Avila I thought Tom Waits wrote that but without the punctuation mistakes: I've; I'm.
One summer in the late seventies we drank four roses bourbon all night. And listened eight albums of Tom, one or two of them double. And when the sun came up at four, we continued. Oh my god, I never forget that night and Tom´s music. Thank you, old man. Greetings from an old lady poet in Finland.
Tuula Maria Saarasdaughter Rauma Rannikko-Palttila Cool story, kiitos !
@@buddybeetle Hei buddybeetle. Where you live, in England or Finland. Now I very often listen my two albums of TW: Bone machine and Mule variations. And I´ve tried to translate I´m gonna take it with me. It is difficult but I manage because I´m a poet too. With best wishes from Maria.
@@tuulamariarauma7734 Hello Pretty 💖
That’s beautiful
Outstanding.
the part he says folks turn into things they never want the only thing to live for is today hits home and a very strong statement
This man wrote some of the greatest ballads, and the most batshit crazy. And put them on the same album. Gotta love it.
There is always a hint of awareness even in the craziest of his songs. Sometimes you have to reach for it though, or the awareness is in the lack of awareness, satire. He never took anything seriously his whole life, it's the only thing he ever took seriously.
Got interested in Tom Waits when I heard Keith Richards played with him. First album was Blood Money, and the first song I ever heard was "Misery is the River of the World." I immediately thought WTF did I just buy...and ejected the cd. Eventually I put it back in, and listened to it. I now love Tom Waits.
Tom Waits .... A magnificent freak of nature.. great songwriter and musician supreme... 😋
I'm trying to create music that is a mix of Tom Waits, Sonic youth, Black Sabbath, tera melos. Wish me luck. I might actually do it before I die.

I am the slime oozing out From your tv set
I am gross and perverted
Im obsessed n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think Im delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozing out
From your tv set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks..
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor
I am the slime from your video
Cant stop the slime, people, look it me go

They’ve worked together a lot
@@bupobm Ya Down by Law, The dead don't die ETC.

Who else ? ?
Really?!? Awesome
it's insane how music can relate to generations decade after decade. I'm 19 and in the full fledges of living on my own and working my ass off just to live, but I'm still watching my favorite cartoons, listening to the same music, I still have all my hobbies. It feels like I'm fighting maturity and it scares me.
Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.
@@mr.c4p, fuck yeah grow old not up is how I live. Ive got 30 years on grandmascat and I still laugh at evil farts, the filthy humour has only improved with time though
Longer you're around, the sadder it gets
I remember listening to this with my friends in the 90s shortly after it came out. Everyone shut up and listened when it came on. You could just tell this was instantaneously a timeless classic. I hope people listen to this for the next thousand years.
People are going to miss him one day. New fans will want more but it will be too late for them.
Those who know... cherish!
Pretty sure he'll burn like a Phoenix and reincarnate or something along those lines.
@@savagebushranger7953 maybe he will escape
It's a great thing he's made so many albums. I've been a fan for years now and still haven't got through them all.

fuckin yeah wen do
Tom is not a person, he is an angel dressed as a devil just to remind us that all demons are dressed as angels.
couldn't agree more
Have you ever seen Wristcutters: A Love Story?
@@LeahInAnotherLife No, I'm gonna take a look at it right now (I noticed Tom's there!). Thank you for the suggestion!
With this song and God's away on business makes me feel that Tom is a brother I never got to meet.
Word🤘🕉️
The Ramones covered this song,took me few minutes to remember.Awesome song Tom.
Watch Los Saicos
César Martín are you referring to the Peruvian band? They are brilliant.
Also, it’s “listen” not “watch”. Just a heads up.
A good way to remember is “watch” is with your eyes and “listen” is with your ears :)
Supersuckers did a version too, but none had this dystopian lunatic urgency.
@@onthewattle Sorry, my English is bad, I meant to listen, not watch, because Los Saicos don't have any live video.
César Martín that’s ok, mate!
Who is that in your PP?
It's my birthday today.
Thank you Tom. My life would have been less rich without your fantastic music.
“How the hell did it get here so soon?”
Powerful man
One of the best songs EVER!!!
Man’s a genius
This and the Ramones cover are awesome, pure dinamyte!!!
Absolutely correct!!!
I've thought it was a ramones song for the last 20 years lol. I do like a few Tom waits albums but I didn't know he did this song
Now that I'm over 40 this might be the single most poignant song lyrics to me in the history of music. Every single utterance is heartbreaking.
This and Summer Feeling by Jonathan Richman. Both so evocative of youth and innocence lost, they crush me.
I never appreciated Tom when I was younger but now I over appreciate his genius. Damn I'm lucky.
I’m 62, just started paying this tune, fantastic finger picking study. I took care of my Mom in her last years, my father passed 5 yrs previous & i was away. I then took care of my Aunt for 2 yrs. My cousin & I are the last of our line & nobody will be here to take care of us. Growing old is no fun. It’s Dr apts every week, such a waste of time. Words of advice, empty out your house & have all your papers in order so who ever does find you has a simple plan to follow. My mother made us sell everything she had so we would not be burdened with it. She was very wise. ❤ Tom.
The fact that makes this song great that it is a coming-of-age song sung by a 42-year-old man.
Hehe. Careful of Steppenwolf then.
Who sounds like he's 68.
age is just a number, happy are those who are 90 years old and remain lucid and jovial👍🏻
Not a coming of age tune, just a song for people of any age that don’t wanna grow up. I’m almost 64 y/o and I refuse to grow up.
@@markpetersen2469 Then you have an immature understanding of what it means to grow up
This was the last song I asked my Girlfriend of 4 years if she liked??Thank you Tom Waits changed my life.
Tom Waits is the ultimate example of freedom of expression. Fun, truthful, dark but true to who he is. Live life with no restrictions! xxx
A year and six months before I hit my 40s and this is still my one and only national anthem...
Yep
I like listening to this and The Ramones version back to back sometimes. The Ramones’ version actually sounds like a rebellious kid who doesn’t want to grow up whereas this version to me sounds like the same kid but now as a much older man who has since conformed to the society he once rebelled against reflecting on/missing his youth.
Man this guy is MY KIND of genius!!!
Tom Waits was born 57 years old, complete with that honey over gravel voice
I just love all the Tom’s, from closing time to now…love ‘em all
So much love for this man and his music!
A musical genius! I remember when this video first aired and I laughed and loved it! His interviews are hilarious!
My dad died this year of the Covidvirus, out of nowhere while he just bought a new shop premises for his own company on the main shopping street in the town. Now that I lost my dad on just age 23, Tom Waits is in my head rentfree continuously playing this song.
I'm so sorry for you're loss my brother, my only advice is to listen to all the waits you can
This isn’t what I was looking for but it’s what I needed.
This is arguably my favorite TW song. Yes I argue with myself all the time. I keep winning too. Anyhow the lyrics here always get me. Thanks again Tom for this song for getting me through all the tough times.
I just came from "Hold On" and was thinking "It's a tough call, but I think this is my favorite Tom Waits song" then I click over to this one and I'm like "No, THIS is my favorite Tom Waits song" and it'll continue with that trend for every Tom Waits song I listen to lol I guess my favorite will just be the one I've listened to most recently
Try, in no particular order:
Tom Traubert's Blues (my personal favourite)
Heart Attack and Vine
Burma Shave
Downtown Train
Jersey Girl
Music doesn't require you to rank it.
An expression almost anyone can understand, delivered with wit.
Tom is an OG madman. I love him
I remember watching this on TV as a little kid. Now I'm 38.
Another perfect song from Mr. Waits. Cuts to the marrow every time.
This song is so simple but pure it's beyond a masterpiece. This is the kind of song that is as true for people now as it was 5000 years ago.
It's a simple song. It makes you wonder why you didn't write it but Tom Waits did and I'm glad for that.
This is a romones cover.
Don’t great.
Ramones
Done great.
Lol
@@askourchefs Actually the Ramones covered it three years after Tom Waits wrote it.
I became a fan because of this album from there I've bought almost every one of his early stuff and his later stuff Love you TOM WAITS!!
Seems like folks turn into things
that they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
Genius !!!
I've heard of small venues, but THIS is ridiculous
such is the state of things in a post-covid world. "sorry we literally can't have an audience in here"
That's the short end of it.
He easily filled the whole venue on his own.
...I think that's Whites Bar in Saginaw, MI...
I read it in Rodney Dangerfield's voice.
One of the best songs and videos ever!
100% agree.
A close childhood friend of mine with the same name as yours tragically passed too soon. Glad to give a thumbs-up in Tribute to my erstwhile friend and "Partner in Innocuous (though the Minister might have disagreed with that adjective ROFLMAO) Sunday School Mischief" who will live on in my Memory for as long as I'm breathing.
Cheers and All Best, Sir! Happy New Year!
Absolutely barking and genius at the same time.
God bless ya Tom!
Happy birthday, Tom. And thank you for the music
One of the most iconic videos i remember from MTV-times. Discovered Jim Jarmusch´s movies a bit later - what treats these people (Jarmusch & Waits) held in store for me...
Truly one of the greatest artists of all time!👍❤️🔥🍻
A masterpiece.
Tchad Blake is among my favourite audio engineers - striking an incredible balance of sonics and soul which draws me to this album & song again and again.
Beautiful.
35 year long fan.
This is still an amazing album ...
BONE MACHINE.
go get it now....your liver depends on it.
im 63 i have all of tom waits records this song and way out west sticks in my mind
I'm a new fan of his, it's only been over a year since I discovered him. (As of this comment being typed, I am 21). And decided to finally give his music a shot after hearing a lot of other artists (musical and visual) credit him as an inspiration, and had my mind blown within the first few notes of, "God's Away on Business". I never heard something like it before then. It was then that I realized that his music was featured in some of my favorite movies I've seen growing up (Robots and Shrek 2, for example). I have been doing my best to listen to as many of his Albums as I can. (My current favorite of his is The Black Rider.)
I'm so glad I discovered him as I was entering my 20's, and before it was too late. Looking forward to (hopefully) hearing new music from this terrific artist.
Bravo...Next, please-thx. pimping in your ear * Tupac Amaru Shakur a.k.a Makaveli ...
Don't forget the one movie his music is in. I'd say it's name but there's two rules preventing me from that
it's never too late to listen to him. I heard Alice when I was 18-. everytime i listen to him it's like the first day all over again.
I just discovered this dude after i went to some art gallery in Burbank, i regret not buying the album, but thank you, UA-cam!
Never too late. He finds you when you need him. I was in my 30s.
this song, along with the Ramones' version, are my favorite music things ever.
Tom and Joey were apparently good friends
Always a masterpiece
Absolutely. Fantabulous.
This was the first Tom Waits song and video I ever experienced, back when I was small. I saw it on TV while sitting in restaurant attached to a library, sometime back in 1993, I believe. Definitely has a bit of a tinge of sadness to it, and I remembered this for many years as the video with the guy 'complaining about something'. I saw the video for 'In the Neighborhood' probably a couple of years later in 1995, but I kind of forgot about Tom Waits until 1999's 'Mule Variations' and the storytellers episode. When I started buying hs albums in 1999, it was mostly in chronological order, with the exception being 'Bone Machine' after 'Closing Time'. The contrast in that 20 year period was huge. It is hard to conceive those 2 records were even made by the same artist.
A fun fact about this video, it was filmed the day before 'Coffee and Cigarettes', in which Tom and Iggy Pop met at a diner, like one in this video. It is the same diner set actually. Same lights, booths, decor and even the picture hanging on the top left is the same; but they replaced the picture of James Dean with one of the Golden Gate Bridge. Since the scene with Iggy was supposedly filmed somewhere in Northern California, this video may have been as well the day before. Given the few outdoor visuals in this music video, it certainly looks like parts of Northern California.
The whole feel of this album has a very Western-noir sound. Recommend checking out the video for 'Goin' Out West', where there are some scenes of driving through a desert landscape at the end.
The part where he plays under the table, makes me think of when he used to play hoot-nights at The Heritage in San Diego between about 1969-1971.
Tom Waits is one of my favorite solo artists and has amazing work. Since he started his career in about 1969, until the present day, he has repeatedly shown he can do it all musically; rock, jazz, folk, blues, gospel, industrial, experimental, metal, avant-garde, vaudeville, polka and many, many more.
Tom Waits went down to the crossroads at midnight to make a deal with the devil;now he has to work on Tuesdays and Thursdays subbing for Old Scratch.😈👍
Such an amazing artist
Ya gotta love the one red shoe! Brilliant!
Forever young and still the... grownupmost performer!!! He is incredible!
Just right Mr. Waits. Thank you for the birthday song!
The ramones introduced me to Tom and I’ll be forever grateful.
I keep playing this song on repeat and it has not lost any charm...
this song always makes me feel so nostalgic, I want to cry any time I hear it
I'm what I'd consider to be a "new fan". I'm 23 and found tom from reading claypools biography and I'm gonna just say it. I've never been so happy to love a musician.
The art is incredible, he's deep, thoughtful and paints a better picture than any other artist I've ever met. Charlotte Kemp Muhl really is responsible for me loving this man.
I hope he tours so I have a chance to see a master practice their craft.
How is she responsible for you loving this man? Just curious.

When I met her some few years ago during the GOASTT tour she dropped the name and a quote I'd never forget.
"I'm so horny the crack of dawn better be careful around me"
Immediately I had to investigate. Eventually waits brought me over to cohen. Amazing how these things work!!
Great sense of humor too. He once said "reality is for those people who cant face drugs"

It's incredible how much Tom Waits songs are in so much movie's!
Yeah, I just heard this song as background music in a movie and came right here to have a proper listen. The first time I ever heard this was on Bevis and Butthead.

Love it.
Died in my laughter.
Raised back up through my tears.
Greif is the elixir that brought me here.
This song is on repeat in my head. Sometimes just so relevant.
'Makes me wish I could be a dog' - my thoughts, precisely.
I used to say to my teachers that I wanted to be a dog when I was a child. :-P
And so, again, I come to that day of the year where I am reminded that I'm getting older. Time to turn up the volume..😅
No you're not getting older .Think young and be young ,cause mayhem and mischief thats what I do, It's great Jenny✨ xx
Just what I needed.
Oh... Tom! My life!
after 40 you jus dont care to count them anymore.. just remember to live more like tom waits. the trick is to never grow up. greet each moment with the wide eyed wonder and innocence of a child and every day will be a holiday and every meal a feast. trust me in that it doesnt get worse, it gets better. the older you get the more you realize theres less time to focus on the bad and youll find yourself remembering more good times than bad ones.
Tom Waits = Genious
Haha My fave Tom song.I want this played@ my Funeral!😁🐨🌈🦘
