Teens In The Suburbs Lyrics - Singles - Eric Michael Jones

Im growing old before my eyes 

But Im young enough to be surprised 

That you would take away my rights 

For getting in a couple of fist fights 

Its hot downtown tonight 

Cool in the North and West 

Teens in the suburbs 

Im living under house arrest ! 

Mammas upstairs praying 

That I didnt get my daddys genes 

But shes got no idea that I aint staying 

One minute, one hour past eighteen 

I know that its hot downtown tonight 

Cool in the North and West 

Teens in the suburbs 

Im popular because Im clinically depressed 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Just want to be cool 

Dont wanna live to be an accountant 

I dont wanna sell stocks 

I dont wanna work for some rat-face jerk 

I just wanna rock! 

I will never confess 

To smoking in the school yard 

Or staring down the teachers dress 

She didnt make it all that hard 

Dont know half the stuff I ingest anymore 

Looking for a way out 

I know that its hot downtown tonight 

Cool in the North and West 

Teens in the suburbs 

I put my life to the acid test 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Dont wanna live to sell insurance 

Dont wanna stay in school 

I dont wanna just say no anymore, Mamma 

I wanna be cool 

You never let me be cool! 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Teens in the suburbs 

Just want to be cool
