I Was a Teenage Teenager

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs?

I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar

Living like a prisoner for haters

I was a teenage teenager, I'm an alien visitor

My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs?

I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar

Living like a prisoner for haters

I was a teenage teenager, I'm an alien visitor

My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar

Living like a prisoner for haters

I was a teenage teenager, I'm an alien visitor

My life's a mess and school is just for suckers
