Eric Michael Jones - Teens In The Suburbs Songtexte

Im growing old before my eyes
But Im young enough to be surprised
That you would take away my rights
For getting in a couple of fist fights

Its hot downtown tonight
Cool in the North and West
Teens in the suburbs
Im living under house arrest !

Mammas upstairs praying
That I didnt get my daddys genes
But shes got no idea that I aint staying
One minute, one hour past eighteen

I know that its hot downtown tonight
Cool in the North and West
Teens in the suburbs
Im popular because Im clinically depressed

Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs

Just want to be cool

Dont wanna live to be an accountant
I dont wanna sell stocks
I dont wanna work for some rat-face jerk
I just wanna rock!

I will never confess
To smoking in the school yard
Or staring down the teachers dress
She didnt make it all that hard
Dont know half the stuff I ingest anymore
Looking for a way out

I know that its hot downtown tonight
Cool in the North and West
Teens in the suburbs
I put my life to the acid test

Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs

Dont wanna live to sell insurance
Dont wanna stay in school
I dont wanna just say no anymore, Mamma
I wanna be cool

You never let me be cool!

Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs
Teens in the suburbs

Just want to be cool
