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 to keep you clean

They're gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

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

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

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

Whoa, yeah!

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!

"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 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
