I was a city baby raised on a well-worn street my daddy hated it because of the fame I never noticed really I was too young at the time to care about the history in it's name Some years go by and then I moved to the sticks some dinky satellite on my home And it was there I took off to meet my mind on the streets and then I made off on my own And I've been sick And I've been tired I've been a madman slashing tires and starting fires I'm not afraid Cowards be damned I'm full of pills and smoke and booze and i'm teenage A few wasted years a cup of tasteless tears I learned my lessons the old fashioned way Some think I'm angry and mean, hell, I'm only eighteen there's only so much a kid can take. Another day, another time my life and loves are in line but I never lost the nerve that I had I kept my insides clean my soul solid and green my independence guiding me through the crap I'm full of pills and smoke and booze and I'm teenage I need it more and I can't get out of this bed Gotta get some more booze Gotta get some more smoke Come on, it's all around me Gimme some pills and smoke
