Hives, The - Fall Is Just Something Grownups Invented Lyrics






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

  8. R.... ....

    SY-07-08 memories // class of 2017

  9. e.... ....

    I don't care that I grew up during CN's dark ages, at least I made do with what I had.

  10. S.... ....

    I simply have no more off days to spend. No more playing around in the pool. Time to go back to work. Got all my friends and some drinks ok, but why do we really have to work all day.

  11. J.... R....

    That was my alarm clock when I get ready for school.

  12. T.... C....

    Rest in spaghetti, never forgetti

  13. i.... ....

    A lot of people are saying this was the downfall for cn. I completely disagree. I was 10 during this time and appreciated chowder and flapjack. I think adventure time mainly caused the downfall of cn

  14. S.... S....

    I remember back in elementary when i always come running from the school bus to watch my favorite shows when school was over. Now I’m 18 and every time when I watch this it makes me cry because I’m proud to be a 2000 kid and always remember cartoon network the way it was in the past ill never forget these childhood memories☺️

  15. A.... M....

    How do all you fuckers get this confused with Nickelodeon?

  16. S.... X....

    Still better than all Jonas borthers songs combined

  17. Y.... B....

    i remember not knowing a single word this fukker was saying but still spazzing out in front of my tv when it came on lmao

  18. E.... B....

    I remember so well

  19. E.... V....

    This video was literally posted on the day that I was born.

    E.... V....

    Jesus you make me feel old, I was watching this on TV before you were born... I made my first YouTube channel 1 year after you were born... That was 10 years ago, where did the time go?

  20. S.... K....

    I thought they said “fun” instead of “fall.” 😓

  21. z.... ....

    So, grownups are singing on how fall is something grownups invented on a channel run by a bunch of grownups? Makes sense.

  22. D.... D....

    OHH! That's what he said! I never understood that till now!

  23. F.... ....

    Goodbye summer 2018

  24. S.... ....

    This should be end credits for knd

  25. B.... L....

    Glad to watch this during the last day of summer.

  26. L.... ....

    I MISS MY CARTOON NETWORK CHILDHOOD!!!💜💜💜💜💜

  27. T.... M....

    its funny cuz this era is called "the fall" era and it was right when cn hit its downfall

    T.... M....

    Nah. Cartoon network was still good. I would say it actually starting falling around 2010 when adventure time aired

    T.... M....

    @ilovelegos2000 actually no. It was around this time it started to fall. Because this was the time when they cancelled at the good shows at the time to create CN Real. Yes because they thought it was a good idea to change a network dedicated to creating cartoons to being full of real people.

    T.... M....

    @Tommy Moodie well for me it died it in 2010

    T.... M....

    @ilovelegos2000 dont get me wrong 2010 wasn't really a good year either. And I really didn't like adventure time. Nor symbiotic titan. Dont remember what year that came out though

  28. B.... J....

    *FALL IS JUST SOMETHING THAT GROWN-UPS INVENTED*

  29. V.... H....

    I remember when this came out. I was going through my punk era in high school if I can recall, and this made me so happy lol 💜

    V.... H....

    Really. That was the beginning of Cartoon Network dark ages for me. I didn't even get to experience the city era. Man, I hate Hong Kong Television.

  30. P.... P....

    I was in the sixth grade when I saw this.

  31. S.... ....

    I put this on blast on the last day of school every year

  32. T.... S....

    This came out in 07? I pretty much stopped watching CN by that point, but I feel like I heard this when I was a kid. I definitely heard that Jabberjaw song tho.

  33. c.... m....

    is this boy singing or having a seizure.

  34. c.... m....

    i feel old

  35. J.... A....

    They crammed this in every commercial break they could. This is one of the first songs I remember getting stuck in my head.

  36. S.... ....

    This should be a meme.

  37. A.... N....

    Back when Cartoon Network was good 😭

  38. F.... ....

    my childhood is here and this song was in my mind for years to come.

  39. W.... H....

    So I was just thinking about music that I remembered from my childhood, and I thought, “What was that commercial for Cartoon Network I saw when I was 8 that I loved so much?” and I eventually found what I was thinking about.

    Damn, this almost made me cry. I thought this was the coolest commercial ever.

  40. k.... ....

    "Jumping in leaves and Halloween is the ass"

  41. R.... ....

    Im 22 and i agree cartoons in my day were better, but every generation says the same thing. Like when our parents say our generations music is crap. People in their 20s are just growing up. Lol

  42. T.... A....

    Dude i almost cried that brought back so many good flashbacks as a kid #cartoonsandceral4ever

  43. s.... ....

    this was THE SONG back then to listen to during the summer as a kid every time it came on id always had to hope it was the full song but each time it was only 30 seconds of it I had to be lucky to catch the full song

  44. T.... O....

    cartoon network

  45. S.... B....

    2007-2008 school year... Great fun for me, terrible for the US econony

  46. H.... M....

    back when cartoon network wasnt shit

    H.... M....

    oh wait, was it shit already hear? I cant remember

  47. S.... F....

    I remember this from when I was 6

  48. C.... ....

    nah the real death is after the noods while this was bad like the shadow the hedgehog of cn while the cn of today is the sonic 06

  49. h.... ....

    This sounds like a theory Numbah 1 would come up with

    h.... ....

    Ya got that right XD Numbuh 1 is SO Agent Mulder XD

  50. B.... ....

    I was about 8 or 9 when this song came out.

    B.... ....

    BlitzCreed same

    B.... ....

    I was 11 when this happened, and dear god, it was a bad time for me during that, I was nearing the end of my elementary semester, wanting to watch TV, and when I saw this, I was just confused, because of the whole fall thing, at that point it was at the year that gave me a sign saying that shows like Code Lyoko was ending (with the last seven episodes never airing and went to their online website), I was getting bored with what they had at that point, 2008 was not any better, the only show that I was interested in watching was Total Drama Island, that's a bad sign when one of the shows I was interested was Total Drama Island and was ignoring every other show at that point.

  51. S.... D....

    makes me wanna play guitar to the song.

  52. S.... D....

    I remember this song from cartoon network.

  53. W.... M....

    I remember seeing this the morning of the first day of 2nd grade

  54. F.... ....

    R.I.P Summer of 2016

  55. J.... 3....

    I MISS THIS SO MUCH GOLEN ERA

  56. T.... ....

    I was in 5th grade when this came out. It's a great song.

    T.... ....

    TheDelBel I was about to finish high school when this came out

  57. s.... ....

    this song is my childhood

  58. A.... L....

    This was a great song, too bad it came around during the live action disease era of Cartoon Network, then again, CN's current cartoons are pretty horrible too.

  59. O.... 1....

    Despite the fact that this gives me PTSD flashbacks to Cartoon Network's awful decaying state in the mid 2000s, on it's own this is actually a decent song.

    O.... 1....

    DRaider90 correction 97-06
    Starting 2007 they started pushing that live action shit on everyone

    O.... 1....

    Obstacle 1 is correct.

    O.... 1....

    Obstacle 1 I get headaches from watching Cartoon Network nowadays cause all they do nowadays is shove Teen Titans Go, Memes, and Bland Bumpers in your face 24/7.

    O.... 1....

    Cartoon Network didn’t get bad until 2009, it was still riding that mid-2000’s wave of great shows. The downfall you’re thinking of included CN Real and Out of Jimmy’s Head. Once CN moved on from that, it’s been good. It’s in a second renaissance that started in 2013 with the rise of Adventure Time and Gumball (even though they premiered in 2010) in mainstream popularity, and then adding in Steven Universe to critical acclaim. I like all the shows CN airs currently, but that era from 09-12 was just horrific.

    This song from 07 ish was great though. 07 was still a good time for CN even though most of their shows from the early and mid 2000’s had wrapped up and Chowder and Flapjack hadn’t yet premiered

    O.... 1....

    I started hating CN when shows like Steven Universe, Powerpuff Girls reboot and Teen Titans Go showed up but I liked shows like Gumball, Regular Show and Adventure Time. I won't ever hate on past CN or past Nick and past Disney Channel, the current gen ones bore me but I can still try to give series chances to see why everyone likes them a lot.

  60. W.... F....

    I remembered this song. When did Cartoon Network start showing shows that caused its favor go down hill?

    W.... F....

    Probably when they started doing those live action shows that didn't catch on, like Survive This! and Brainrush

    W.... F....

    +ToxicWolf1132 Yeah, I guess. Oh, how I miss the good old days.

  61. J.... Z....

    I remember when I first heard this song on cartoon network :) back in the day when it was fun. now I hardly watch cartoon network because it's not the same as it was back in the day.

    J.... Z....

    I feel the same way this was one of my favorite songs right next to are you CN this

  62. F.... ....

    born in year 1995
    Started watching CN at 1999-2007
    Best years man best years indeed.

    F.... ....

    Born 1997, started watching from birth, parents were teenagers so my dad watched cartoons with me since day 1, 10 years in and I'll never forget it. Indeed, the best years...

    F.... ....

    @Luke Perez I was born in 97. I would say cn was good until 2010.

  63. e.... ....

    this was around the time i started watching cn.

    i'm too young man. too young

  64. O.... ....

    5th Grade, I'm 20 now. Happy Holidays guys

    O.... ....

    Same, Fall '07 when this song came out and i was

  68. G.... K....

    did they just swear in 1:13

    G.... K....

    +Guy Kabwe Nope. They said "Jumping in leaves and Halloween is a gas"

  69. W.... a....

    I remember I was too sick to attend school regularly the year this aired on Cartoon Network--this song really grew on me that fall and winter :D

    W.... a....

    I miss those days

  70. Y.... ....

  72. C.... D....

    Oh god I miss high school so much

  73. N.... C....

    the beginning of the down fall of the Chanel

  74. R.... R....

    The sad part about this is they played this bumper all the way to Spring of the next year.

    R.... R....

    Random Ron I know seriously, I remember it being like April or May and I was like when the hell are they ever going to stop playing this lol.

    R.... R....

    Sad? I enjoyed it! It's a great song, and I wish they would have played it more.

  75. P.... s....

    Great collaboration with Cartoon network, back when it was good! :)

    P.... s....

    It's good now, it was only bad 2007/2010

    P.... s....

    +Trent McKenzie
    It is not good now.
    You cannot tell me that Uncle Grandpa and Regular Show are good.

  76. G.... H....

    Wow the nostalgia is so intense right now

  77. R.... ....

    So glad cartoon network went down hill when I was like 12-13, thank God I grew up when Cartoon Network was in it's hay day

    R.... ....

    Juvenoia is a son of a bitch

    R.... ....

    RowdyMajor18 I'm 18 years old and I was 7-8 when the Fall Bumpers were airing, and I actually liked that Fall Bumpers unlike most people (please don't shoot me) but that's because I was a kid at the time and I didn't care what was shown on TV. I remember absolutely hating Cartoon Network from 2012-2014 because I hated how DC Nation was cancelled and that Adventure Time/Regular Show/Gumball/Teen Titans Go/Uncle Grandpa were taking up most of the schedule at the time. Now I'm 18 and I hate Cartoon Network more than ever now, since they're mistreating their cartoons like Steven Universe and airing Teen Titans Go 75% of the time. I think it's all a matter of nostalgia, since you were no longer in the target demographic at the time, and nevertheless you didn't like what was played at the time just like me when I was a teenager.

    R.... ....

    @Butter Pie first of all 18 is still a teenager so is 19 and LOL you hate all the good shows go to Disney XD if you wanted to keep watching all the superhero stuff but Regular Show and Adventure Time Amazing World of Gumball those all saved Cartoon Network

    R.... ....

    @Butter Pie I disagree with loving the past era due to nostalgia, I grew up in the 90's and miss a lot of past shows but I like current gen shows as well, just not all of them. Nick, CN and Disney Channel are poop now though.

  78. T.... ....

    Worst era Cartoon Network ever had, marked the official death of CN. Leaves nothing but bad memories.

    T.... ....

    @mqgTWO96 WRONG! Advneture Time is one of the worst pieces of crap on CN today. TTGO is the one of the only things that make CN watchable. the golden yeah didn't like that "something parents invented either. But you say the golden era I hope you mean when CN was a city with ED EDD & EDDY, Power Puff Girls, Fosters Home, TOONANMI etc.? 

    T.... ....

    @smoothrasin Hahaha, there's been worse shows on Cartoon Network before, remember how terrible My Gym Partner's A Monkey, Squirrel Boy, Johnny Test, Secret Mount Fort Awesome, or Skunk Fu were? I'd take Adventure Time & Regular Show ANYDAY over those crappy shows. TTGO is a terrible parody that makes no sense with the humor. Space Ghost Coast to Coast was a much better parody that did it right! I'll admit Adventure Time has declined but at least it has some adult references in there unlike the other shows that caters to the lowest common denominator. Also, while CN City was great too, NOTHING beats Cartoon Network's Powerhouse age (1997-2004) with new episodes of Cartoon Cartoons like Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Cow & Chicken, Time Squad, Codename: KND, etc. Action shows like Samurai Jack, Teen Titans, and Justice League. Toonami with Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Naruto. Reruns of Kids WB shows like Jackie Chan Adventures, Pokemon, Batman: TAS, Superman: TAS, X-Men: Evolution, etc. Classics like Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Popeye, Tex Avery Show, etc. Are you kidding me. CN City was great too but Powerhouse was better. 

    T.... ....

    @***** Johnny Test another piece of crap on CN basically they just took Dexter Lab and Johnny Bravo ( 2 good shows ) and put them together. you think It be the opposite 2 rights make a right! Right?....WRONG!

    T.... ....

    this is stupid

    T.... ....

    +Sir Pumpernickel It's just a genderswap of dexter's laboratory

  79. A.... G....

    1:13 jumping in leaves and having wieners in the ass?

    A.... G....

    Alex German Jumping in leaves and Halloween is a gas.

    A.... G....

    Alex German I thought it said "weed in the a**"

  80. p.... ....

    This is the song that made me fall in love with The Hives

  81. p.... ....

    nostalgia!!!!!!!

  82. C.... ....

    ahh this song,

  83. k.... s....

    wow, after this song, I always knew Naruto was about to start. Memories...

    k.... s....

    For me, it was Transformers Cybertron.

    k.... s....

    OMG 😭😭

  84. T.... ....

    No offense to the music group of course, but....this....this was the beginning of the end for Cartoon Network, with all that reality bullsh*t and Snyder appearing...-_-
    I literally cringe when hearing this as it brings nothing bad memories of that awful time period, CN has gotten somewhat better...but it never truly recovered to what it once was and i fear it never will =(

    T.... ....

    Most cartoons nowadays are going for a deeper lore and story, which really is a prime time for writers to be getting involved with making them. Steven Universe, Rick & Morty, Adventure Time, and Gravity Falls are the big hitters for this new generation of cartoons. I'm enjoying the ride, but with shows like Adventure Time they have both the goofy episodes like back from '07 and story driven episodes, which is somewhat annoying since it doesn't quite work. I look forwards to seeing more story driven cartoons but hope more fun ones are made, honestly the only good one that comes to mind that's also for kids is Harvey Beaks.

    T.... ....

    I've decided since my last comment that I'm "Cutting the cord", and that's that. Whatever smart device I get (be it a Roku or smart Blu-ray player), that's all I'll use. Although to add insult to injury, Netflix pulled ALL Cartoon Network shows from its instant database. There is "watchcartoononline.com", though. With AdBlock on, it's legit.

    T.... ....

    This was before Sack-O'-Shit Snyder ruined CN

    T.... ....

    TheTimon64 you do realize that the fall of Cartoon Network wasn't all Stuart Snyder's fault, right? As we all know the premiere of Re-Animated in 2006 officially began the late 2000s live-action extravaganza on Cartoon Network, and Jim Samples was still president at the time. In a notebook of everything Cartoon Network had planned for the year 2007, Out of Jimmy's Head (formerly Re-Animated) and the live-action Ben 10 Movie are included in the book. Keep in mind that Jim Samples was still president at the beginning of that year, so obviously he had all this planned ahead before the new year began. While live-action on Cartoon Network went full force under Stuart Snyder's leadership, Jim Samples was the one who started it.

    T.... ....

    TheTimon64 here in 2018 and I believe CN has healed already due to some of the current shows

  85. M.... D....

    God...I remember FHFIF, KND, Courage, Grim Adventures, camp lazlo....Damn i an all sad and shit now...

    M.... D....

    I feel ya bro, i feel ya =(

    M.... D....

    L-a-z-l-o L-a-z-l-o L-a-z-l-oooo and lazlo was his name-ooooo

  86. G.... L....

    funny how they were introducing kids to rebellion in a way... great decision because this was one of the most memorable moments of my childhood

  87. S.... ....

    Nostalgia.....we meet again.... O_o.

  88. B.... R....

    When I first saw this I thought all the members of The Hives, except for the singer and drummer, were in their late thirties-early forties. I thought it was hilarious that people that old were doing something like this. Surprising to find out that they were all 30 and under when this came out.

  89. C.... R....

    Oh my god....... I remember being 12 or 13 and jamming to this in my room.....
    Damn I feel old

    C.... R....

    Right?!

    C.... R....

    Same here

  90. E.... J....

    How the hell is this having so many likes

  91. T.... ....

    the only new show i enjoy is regular show

  92. T.... ....

    yeah, for a second

  93. A.... A....

    Grim and & Evil was like my fave show when it came out. Awesome ness

  94. T.... ....

    same situation here. Been watching fosters home on netflix and man does it make me feel happy. Reminds me of a simpler time.

  95. a.... ....

    this whole transition that cartoon network made is just the dumbest idea anyone has ever made, most of those new shows they made were cancelled pretty quickly, bobby says, the othersiders, destroy build destroy, tower prep, does anyone remember any of those?

  96. a.... ....

    Oye ve, people are starting to feel nostalgic over this era of CN...I'm more of a 1996-2005 person myself, but whatever floats your boat...your horrible misguided boat... :P

  97. T.... P....

    this era of cn was cool now they just have these stupid 2 year old shows i want to see some fights not a cartoon stuffing his face with a sandwich

  98. T.... ....

    what are you guys talking about?? this era of cn sucked!!!!
