Max Rose is a sixteen year old, gender-fluid Asian American animal rights activist who, as this song tells us is very anxious to turn eighteen!

I have great anticipation
Over my emancipation,
There’s such a burning yearning
To be free!
I long for the elation
Of my eighteenth celebration
And the right to stake my claim
On liberty!

I have the highest aspiration
For total Liberation
There’s rebellion churning
Deep inside of me,
With utmost concentration
I’ll make my preparation
For the day that I can name
As the day that I’ll be free.

Come on eighteen hurry up,
I can’t wait forever!
I can’t wait to say goodbye
To this land of never never.
I want to be expansive and free,
Much more than you suppose,
I don’t want to be just a minimum me,
I want to be Maximum Rose!

Maximum, Maximum, Maximum Rose,
From my maximum head to my maximum toes —
Maximum choice,
Maximum voice,
Girl and boy,
Maximum joy
Maximum, Maximum Rose!

I may be shy and quiet
But I can start a riot,
Just watch those rules you impose
Don’t tell me I can’t do it,
For me, there’s nothing to it
Just watch me now, I’m Maximum Rose!

Maximum, Maximum, Maximum Rose,
Maximum is as maximum goes,
Maximum fighter for maximum love,
Like a maximum hand in a maximum glove
It’s always one struggle,
It’s always one fight
For maximum freedom
And animal rights
Maximum choice
Maximum voice,
Girl and boy,
Maximum joy,
For puppy or pig,
Little or big,
From my maximum heart
Is where it will start
To my maximum toes,
I’m Maximum, Maximum, Maximum Rose!
