When I was a teenager
I wanted to rule the world
When I was a teenager
I wanted to disappear
I wanted everyone to fall to thier knees
When I walked in the room
When I was a teenager
I wanted to kiss a cheerleader
And I knew that I was something special
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of
I knew that I would be so famous
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Oh just a matter of time
Waiting for the war to end
Begging for a brand new friend
When I was a teenager
I was a miserable wreck
Do you like what I'm wearing
Do you approve of what I've said
When I was a teenager
There was something wrong with my head
And I knew that I was something special
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of
I knew that I would be so famous
It's just a matter if time
It's just a matter of time
If we put our youth in jail
Their only crime: being born
How are we to find our way
Through this awful storm
I knew that I was something special
I kew that I would be so famous
I knew that I was something special
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of
I knew that I was something special
I kew that I would be so famous
I knew that I was something special
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
