Army of Teens

Look out, look out

There’s a teenage girl about

She wants it all

And she wants it now

And she will get it, somehow…

She’s a thinker

And a tramp

A non-believer

And a vamp

She likes drugs and rock’n roll

And Beethoven too

Enjoys contradiction

Documentaries and fiction

She’s burning with ambition

And whatever she does

She does it better than you

She reads like a vampire

In the dead of night

Drinks literature like blood

She has the gift of second sight

This girl is a soldier

In the army of teens

She’s bleeding and she’s proud

And she says what she means

I may have freckles on my face

I do not fit in any place

Too fat, too thin, too everything

I am a disgrace

I think too much, I feel too much

I dream too much, I scheme too much

I love too much and hate too much

And yet – somehow-

I’m still too young to touch…

Look out, look out,

There’s a teenage girl about

She wants it all

And she wants it now

And she will get it, somehow…

This girl is a soldier

In the army of teens

She’s bleeding and she’s proud

And she says what she means

You may beat me, I will rise

I may look stupid in your eyes

But a life in second place

Is not a life I want to face

I’m a rebel, not a fool

Throw me out of every school

I’ll win the game a different way

I’ll get there, yes I will

I will, I will, I will…

One day
