they're gonna clean up your looks
with all the lies and 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 gonna give you a smirk
cause they got methods
of keeping you clean
they're gonna rip out your heads
your aspirations to shreads
another caught in the murder machine

they say all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
think you can last as long as someone will bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they'll leave you alone
but not me

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
we'll make them pay for the things that they did

they say all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
think you can last as long as someone will bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they'll leave you alone
but not me

oh yeah

they say all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
think you can last as long as someone will bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they'll leave you alone
but not me

teenagers scare the living shit out of me
think you can last as long as someone will bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they'll leave you alone
but not me

teenagers scare the living shit out of me
think you can last as long as someone will bleed
so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they'll leave you alone
but not me
