I'm Going To Be A Teenage Idol

Lyrics

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