Teenage Sounds
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’m sick of living under everybody’s shadow
I'm sick of everyone's success i know that's shallow
I'm sick of hearing people lie to get by, to get by
I'm sick of people that can't look me in the eye all the time
I'm tired of girls
I'm tired of boys
I'm tired of nonsense
I'm t-t-t-tired of the process
I'm sick and tired of always feeling second best
I'm tired of never ever making any progress
To all the cool kids on my block
Where's the original thought?
Tell me
They ain't never hurt us,
They ain't never turn us down
We're making all the noise
We're making teenage sounds
It's the same old song and dance
We're sick of everybody tryin' to be famous
I'm sick of always operating out of fear
I'm sick of being called a faggot cause i'm queer
I'm sick of everybody saying to be happy
Hahaha
I'm positive that i'm allowed to have a bad day
I'm tired of everybody tryin' to be a dj
I can also play my favorite songs and press play
I'm sick of people saying rock and roll is dead
Why don’t you play guitar to save yourself instead?
To all the cool kids on my block,
Where's the original thought?
Tell me
They ain't never hurt us,
They ain't never turn us down
We're making all the noise
We're making teenage sounds
It's the same old song and dance
We’re sick of everybody tryin' to be famous
The truth is out; you swallow when it's true
The truth is out to swallow when it's choking you
The truth is out to swallow when it's true
The truth is out to swallow when it's choking you
They ain't never hurt us,
They ain't ever try to turn us down
We're making all the noise
We're making teenage sounds
Just the same old song and dance
We're sick of everybody tryin' to be famous
I'm sick of everybody tryin' to be famous
I'm sick of everybody tryin' to be famous
I'm sick of everybody tryin' to be famous
I'm sick of everybody tryin' to be famous
(fame is dead!)
