lyrics

I Wanna Be A Teenage Boy
@Zoe FitzGerald Carter and Hindy Bare

I wanna be a teenage boy, play my guitar, be the star of my own reality
I wanna be a teenage boy, smoke a bowl, catch a wave
ride my skateboard to the rave

Shave your legs, keep it smooth, get a suntan,
make him feel like he’s a real man
Keep your glow -- exfoliation
You’re getting fat, what’s your explanation?

I wanna be a teenage boy, play my guitar, be the star of my own reality
I wanna to be a teenage boy, crank it up, grab my balls
bang my head against the wall

The secret is Brazilian waxing, don’t you worry, girl, it’s relaxing
Oh, don’t let your body go, never let your nipples show

I want to be a teenage boy, grab a beer
eat some fries, I won’t stop until I die

Rule the world, stay on top, rock it hard, never stop
Rule the world, stay on top, rock it hard, never stop

You’ve got to suffer to be beautiful and by the way, don’t be so emotional
You’re confused, it wasn’t him, boys will be boys and then they’re men

I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, a teenage boy

Don’t be loud, don’t be proud, being big is not allowed
Stay small, Barbie doll, mirror, mirror in the mall
Get home late at night, don’t admit you’re terrified
Just fake it, shake it, get in there and bake it
Work hard, get paid, don’t complain it’s a lady wage
Listen up, buttercup, you’re a girl now shut the fuck up
