[Verse1]
They’re gonna cl[E]ean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of y[B]ou
Because they sl[A]eep with a gun
And keep an e[E]ye on you, son
So they can w[B]atch all the things you d[E]o
Because the dru[E]gs never work
They gonna give you a smirk
Cause they got methods
Of keeping you cl[B]ean
They’re gonna r[A]ip off your heads
Your aspir[E]ations to shreds
Another c[B]og in the murder machi[E]ne
[Chorus]
They said, all [E]
teenagers scare the living shit out of me
[E]They could care less as long as [B]someone’ll bleed
So [A]darken your clothes
Or strike a [E]violent pose
Maybe they’ll [B]leave you alone
But not [E]me
[Verse2]
The boys and g[E]irls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, [B]kid
But if you’re t[A]roubled and hurt
what you got [E]under your shirt
will make them pa[B]y for the things that they di[E]d
[Chorus]
They said all [E]teenagers
scare the living shit out of me
[E]They could care less as long as [B]someone’ll bleed
So [A]darken your clothes
Or strike a [E]violent pose
Maybe they’ll [B]leave you alone
But not [E]me
* oh yeah *
[Solo]
[A] [E] [A] [B]
[Chorus] (same chords implied for a cappella chorus)
They said all [E]teena[N.c.]
gers 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,
[E]Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
[E]They could care less as long as [B]someone’ll bleed
So [A]darken your clothes
Or strike a [E]violent pose
Maybe they’ll [B]leave you alone
But not [E]me, waaaaah!
[E]Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
[E]They could care less as long as [B]someone’ll bleed
So [A]darken your clothes
Or strike a [E]violent pose
Maybe they’ll [B]leave you alone
But not [E]me
