  E            A
Stare out the window,
     E              A
You can't make the time go
     E           A              E
You don't even know why you're here

Wait for the weekend
to go off the deep end
and make everything disappear

Chorus:
        A         G       E
You're lost in a teenage jail
    A          G               E
So you and so vicious and so frail
       A           G           E
where something is always for sale
        A         G        E
You're lost in a teenage jail.

You're not like your mothers.
you're not like the others
You're not quite like anyone else,

They don't even know you,
Got nothing to show you,
So get something good for yourself
