[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And root-toot-shoot myself to fame
Every kid alive going to 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 going to be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes
You can't imagine what it means to me
I'm going to grab myself a place in history
A teenage idol that's what I'm gonna be
[Verse 2]
Well life is short and the world is rough
And if you're going to 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
[Chorus]
