Letra de
Teenagers

Teenagers, de My Chemical Romance, fue inspirada por las experiencias del cantante Gerard Way con el transporte público de Nueva York. Observando cómo se agrupaban y interactuaban los adolescentes, Way reflexionó sobre la naturaleza intimidante que pueden tener los adolescentes en grupos. La canción trata temas de conformidad, violencia y el sentimiento de alienación experimentado durante la adolescencia.

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They gonna give you a smirk
Of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said, all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
what you got under your shirt
will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me
* oh yeah *

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me, waaaaah!
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me
