LYRICS
TEENAGERS OF THE REVOLUTION
I’m a British teenager in 2003
I want to put some music on but nothing much appeals to me
From gloomy, derivative indie bands who can’t write good songs
To faceless DJs, R&B and karaoke singalongs
Kylie and Robbie Williams are yesterday’s news
Eminem looks like my Grandad in his vest and tattoos
I’m a teenager and I want a revolution
I’m a teenager and I want a revolution
I threw my mobile off a cliff
And chucked my Gameboy in the bin
I flushed my trainers down the bog
And punched my widescreen telly in
I’m gonna wear high heels and tights
And mascara like a girl
Cos I’m a teenage rebel and I don’t care
And I wanna stick twos up at the world
Britney and Busted are as thrilling as custard
And who does Dido think she is?
Sinead O’Connor or the Cranberries?
I’m a teenager and I want a revolution
I’m a teenager and I want a revolution
Don’t have a go at a teenager, it’s not very nice
I don’t need you old fogies and your bad advice
Like the American native, I am extremely innovative
And I’m very creative to boot
Don’t laugh at a teenager’s face, I am not a buffoon
You’re gonna eat your own words to a different tune
I wanna listen to some decent music just for a change
So do a billion dollar record deal with Gary Le Strange
Why Doesn’t Anyone Buy Singles?
