I'm An American Teen

i'm one shot down idea away
from rocking back and forth in the fetal position
and your cynical outlook isn't helping me any
i'm trying really hard to keep my head above water
but you're pulling on my ankle and you're dragging me under
what a day in the life of an american teen

my music is the only thing that's keeping me sane
i'm plugged into my ipod like it's heaven on earth
head bangin' gets weird looks but i don't care either way
walking down the street i'm singing Adam and Andrew
cause everyone loves to listen to the lesbian song
haha just kidding, i'd rather read me some slash

clothes are more than just a statement it's about who you are
studded belts and black nail polish are at the top of my list
and don't let me forget about my converse all stars
i wear my shirts tight and my jeans even tighter
put a hoodie over that and you've got me in a nut shell
and don't even get me started bout the way i wear my hair

but most important to me is the fuckin eyeliner
or if you're a guy you just might call it guyliner
everyone looks awesome with some black around their eyes
add some neon eyeshadow and you're ready to rock
draw some hearts stars and swirls and you've hit the top
you're special and unique and you know how to show it

if there's one thing i hate it's them lame homophobes
there's nothing wrong with being gay cause love is love anyway
kiss a guy, kiss a girl, it doesn't matter to me
if you're in love and you are happy then i'm happy for you
all you haters keep your mouths shut cause we don't wanna hear it
this isn't a democracy, you don't get an opinion


EDIT: i must have been drunk when i wrote this. it's... waaaay out of character for me... and it scares me a little. xD
