You work like a robot, making diddly-squat
This is why I am not a teenager
They all talk down to you like they know what to do
Are they trying to screw up your life,
Since they already blew their own?
But when I grow up, I'm going to run
My own planetarium
I'll make the shows all on my own
The world will flock to see 'em
All that money they've got, they don't give you a jot
This is why I am not a teenager
When you never get paid, and you never get laid
And you're full of these stupid hormones
And just then they come out with AIDS
But when I grow up, I'm going to be
An underground filmmaker
I'll have my own backlot somewhere
On my own half an acre
So they piss on your dreams, and then muzzle your screams
This is why I am not a teenager
Making ice cream on trucks, shoveling horse products,
Washing dishes and making popcorn
Toilets! Oh the indignity!
Piss on your dreams, muzzle your screams
Why I am not a teenager
Piss on your dreams, muzzle your screams
Why I am not a teenager
Oooh
Piss on your dreams, muzzle your screams
Why I am not a teenager
Piss on your dreams, muzzle your screams
Why I am not a teenager
Oooh, Oooh
