Teen Idle

lyrics:
—
i wanna be a bottle blonde
i don't know why but i feel conned
i wanna be an idle teen
i wish i hadn't been so clean

i wanna stay inside all day
i want the world to go away
i want blood, guts and chocolate cake
i wanna be a real fake

yeah, i wish i'd been, i wish i'd been
a teen, teen idle
wish i'd been a prom queen fighting for the title
instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
feeling super, super, super suicidal

the wasted years, the wasted youth
the pretty lies, the ugly truth
and the day has come where i have died
only to find i've come alive

i wanna be a virgin pure
a twenty-first century whore
i want back my virginity
so i can feel infinity

i wanna drink until i ache
i wanna make a big mistake
i want blood, guts, and angel cake
i'm gonna puke it anyway

the wasted years, the wasted youth
the pretty lies, the ugly truth
and the day has come where i have died
only to find i've come alive
come alive, i've come alive...

i wish i wasn't such a narcissist
i wish i didn't really kiss
the mirror when i'm on my own
oh God, i'm gonna die alone

adolescence didn't make sense
a little loss of innocence
the ugly years of being a fool
ain't youth meant to be beautiful?

only to find i've come alive
only to find i've come alive
only to find i've come alive
come alive...
