Intro: --
Well there s slim times when my words won t rhyme
And the hills I face are a long hard climb
I just sit cross legged with my old guitar
It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star
Well it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry
And I think for once let me just get high
Let me get electric put a silk suit on
Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun
And root-toot-shoot myself to fame
Every kid alive gonna know my name
An overnight phenomenon like there s never been
A motivated supersonic king of the scene
I ll be a teenage idol, just give me a break
I m gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes
You can t imagine what it means to me
I m gonna grab myself a place in history
A teenage idol that s what I m gonna be
Well life is short and the world is rough
And if you re gonna boogie boy you got to be tough
Nobody knows if I m dead or alive
I just drink myself to sleep each night
And so I pray to the teenage god of rock
If I make it big let me stay on top
You got to cut me loose from this one room dive
Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive
