Pointless Teenage Anthem Lyrics - Adolescents

This is a pointless teenage anthem 

About how great things used to be 

The kind that tugs your heartstrings 

Like rhythmic atrophy 

A pointless teenage anthem 

We're not allowed to grow 

Past the pointless teenage tantrums 

Like the kind I used to throw 

Round, round, round 

Just keep spinning around 

Down, down, down 

Spinning upside down 

Pound, pound, pound 

Pound it to the ground 

Sound, sound, sound 

Like its something new they've found 

A pointless teenage anthem 

Is what they expect from me 

To hold on to the youth they lost 

In 1983 

A pointless teenage anthem 

To keep the old school young 

So they can slam around and round 

Lament what they've become 

A pointless teenage anthem 

Really shouldn't be too tough 

I've written fifty other ones 

More than enough 

So here's a toast to happiness 

To life and liberty 

Life's a blast, throw off the past 

Irresponsibility
