The Hold Steady - Teenage Liberation lyrics

[The Hold Steady - Teenage Liberation lyrics]

'Seventeen' was an underfunded comedy
About love and drugs and
Girls and immortality
And most of the jokes just
Kinda hung around and died

'Nineteen' was a 90 second short
About a cartoon kid who sit's
And drinks on his porch and gets pissed
He took one good swipe at his wrist
But he missed so he lived

These teenage chicks, they grow up so quick
I swear they must get sucked
Up by the television
And we're still losing lights in the
Fight for the teenage liberation

'Twenty three' was a shot
Of straight frustration
Flying down the pathways


He was dying in the bars
He mostly ate all his meals in his car

'Twenty nine' was the end of the line
He stayed up for 16 nights at a stretch
He was wrecked
You could see all the veins in
His neck when he flexed

These senior class chicks
They're the easiest to kiss
They got nothing to lose and they know it
You just fill up their cup at
The keg a couple a times
And it's pretty much up to you not to blow it

All the coolest guys have
All the coolest rides
But they're colliding with the inanimation
We're still losing lights in the
Fight for the teenage liberation

Teenage heat is a warm and
Wet and heavy situation
Such sweaty exultation and soft
Sharp penetration on unsupervised vacations

Kissing boys and getting wasted
Hot and soft and generally complacent

'Seventeen' is an underfunded comedy
