Teenagers of the Revolution
I'm a normal teenage boy in 2003
I want to put some music on but nothing much appeals to me
From gloomy, derivative, guitar-based bands who can't write good songs
To faceless DJs, R&B and karaoke singalongs
Kylie and Robbie Williams are yesterday's news
Eminem looks like my Grandad in his vest and tattoos
I'm a teenager and I want a revolution
I'm a teenager and I want a revolution
I chucked my mobile off a cliff and threw my Gameboy in the bin
I flushed my trainers down the bog and punched my widescreen telly in
I'm gonna wear high heels and tights and mascara like a girl
Cos I'm a teenage rebel and I don't care, and I wanna stick twos up at the world
Britney and Busted are as thrilling as custard
And who does Dido think she is? Sinead O'Connor or the Cranberries?
I'm a teenager and I want a revolution
I'm a teenager and I want a revolution
Don't have a go at a teenager, it's not very nice
I don't need you old fogies and your bad advice
Like the American native, I am extremely innovative
And I'm very creative to boot
Don't laugh at a teenager's face, I am not a buffoon
You're gonna eat your own words to a different tune
I wanna listen to some decent music just for a change
So do a billion dollar record deal with Gary Le Strange
