Lyrics

Teenagers

[Verse 1]

They're gonna clean up your looks

With all the lies in the books

To make a citizen out of you

Because they sleep with a gun

And keep an eye on you, son

So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work

They're gonna give you a smirk

Cause they got methods of keeping you clean

They're gonna rip up your heads

Your aspirations to shreds

Another cog in the murder machine

[Chorus]

They said "all teenagers scare the living shit out of me

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"

So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

[Verse 2]

The boys and girls in the clique

The awful names that they stick

You're never gonna fit in much, kid

But if you're troubled and hurt

What you got under your shirt

Will make them pay for the things that they did

[Chorus]

They said "all teenagers scare the living shit out of me

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"

So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Oh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

They said "all teenagers scare the living shit out of me

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"

So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

All together now

[Chorus]

"Teenagers scare the living shit out of me

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"

So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

[Chorus]

They said "all teenagers scare the living shit out of me

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"

So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
