[Verse] 
E They're gonna clean up your looks
 With all the lies in the books 
B To make a citizen out of you
A Because they sleep with a gun
E And keep an eye on you, son
BE So they can watch all the things you do
 
E Because the drugs never work
 Cause they got methods 
B Of keeping you clean
A They're gonna rip off your heads
E Your aspirations to shreds
BE Another cog in the murder machine
 [Chorus] 
E They said, all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
EB They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
A So darken your clothes
E Or strike a violent pose
B Maybe they'll leave you alone
E But not me
 [Verse] 
E The boys and girls in the clique
 The awful names that they stick 
B You're never gonna fit in much, kid
A But if you're troubled and hurt
E what you got under your shirt
BE will make them pay for the things that they did
 [Chorus] 
E They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
EB They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
A So darken your clothes
E Or strike a violent pose
B Maybe they'll leave you alone
E But not me
 [Solo] 
AEAB
[Chorus] (same chords implied for a cappella chorus) 
E N.C. They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
 All together now, 
E Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
EB They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
A So darken your clothes
E Or strike a violent pose
B Maybe they'll leave you alone
E But not me, waaaaah!
 
E Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
EB They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
A So darken your clothes
E Or strike a violent pose
B Maybe they'll leave you alone
E
