A flag we used to know flies in the breeze
Kids think they look cute, and they think they look scene
They said hey no we can't fall we cant fall down
But they fall and scatter when the gun barrel is spinning around
Everything we used to know gets blown away in the wind
People on the street play powerball praying for a win
No we can't lose again no we can't sink no lower
Streets no meaner and their stares no colder
We roll, we roll, we roll, roll away
We sing, we sing, the night blues away
When the teenagers decide who they wanna be
All the parents cry and fall to their knees
We laugh, we laugh, we laugh, laugh away
We dance, we dance, the night, night away
When the teenagers lose, you all feel our pain
We the teenagers drive everybody insane
Everything we used to love drove out of town last night
She left me in a sea of crowded car headlights
She said it's better for you if I just leave now
That’s when she disappeared back into the crowd
They line the streets looking at the cars that pass on by
Looking for a lover that might be riding inside
Secretly wishing it was them that was hitting the road
The shit you think about when you are 16 years-old
I cry, I cry, I cry, cry all night
Mama told me that it would be alright
When a teenager's heart breaks, it breaks all over the floor
You stepped over my heart when you walked out the door
We know, we know, we know, know everything
We will fight anyone who steps into the ring
Put it all on the line, got nothing left to lose
Cause you wish you could be a teenager too
People of the new uprising
Stand down, stand down and resume blind faith
We blew shit up, and we smoke in the streets
We beat down everybody that we meet
We succumb to temptation and we give in to lust
We don’t care that we have no one to trust
We cry, we cry, we cry, cry all night
The fires we started turn darkness to light
When the the teenagers lose you all feel our pain
We are hellbound and we are insane
We rock, we rock, we rock, rock all night
May the truth, may it burn so bright
Put it all on the line, got nothing left to lose
'Cause you wish you could be a teenager too
