Fickman, Murphy and O'Keefe were also producers on the original productions in Los Angeles and New York. I think one thing (maybe strange) I've taken away from the lyrics is in a world that's trying to make us grow up faster and faster, be a rebel and be seventeen forever! The lyrics from the songs in the episode are from the High School Edition of the musical with most of the profanity deleted.
