Teenagers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads, your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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, oh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
"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
"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

Why do some adults think like this?

Probably because they remember what they were like when they were that age – young and selfish. And they know that people of that age tend to think for themselves, rather than blindly listen to authority figures. They understand this mentality because they once thought that way, and while familiar,...

Where was the music video filmed?

Verdugo Hills High School in Los Angeles.

Is it true that this is about a school shooter?

I assume you’re talking about this video.
No, the song isn’t about a school shooting since it isn’t told from the perspective of a student or teenager. The song references not fitting in, and although the line “what you got under your shirt” is most likely referencing a gun or shooting, I don’t beli...
