Pressure here and pressure there/ you tell another lie People touch and people stare/ you tell the world goodbye This is an ecstatic scene/ cant get enough of it Legal system rnakes you scream/ you never try to fit Violence just for violence's sake/ but do you really care Violence was your first mistake/ and will you ever dare People come and people go/ you gotta make it stick No one ever really knows/ the system makes you sick Teenage Shutdown. One big let down Teenage Shutdown. One big let down People on the run around/ ain't got a f**ing clue Never see me on the ground/I don't get through to you Promises I never keep/ you know it's no surprise Now I'm in it far too deep/ and you just hide your eyes Everybody gives it up/ you dont know how to stop You never get another shot/ and I'm the one on top People learning how to cry/ it's just another fad People learning how to die/ and that's what makes me mad Teenage Shutdown. One big let down Teenage Shutdown. One big let down So now you lake another lesson/ but will you ever learn? Now I've got another weapon/I leave you here to burn Teenage is what teenage does/ you don't know what to do Teenage aint what teenage was/ I'm coming after you Try to tell me what to do/ But I don't hear at all The system's falling down on you/you gotta take the fall People get a little close/ that's when I run and hide It's life that l depend on most/ It's just to save my pride Teenage Shutdown. One big let down Teenage Shutdown. One big let down
