Verse 
         C 
You work like a robot 
       F 
Making diddly-squat 
        C                  G 
This is why I am not a teenager 
         C 
They all talk down to you 
          F 
Like they know what to do 
         F                  G 
Are they trying to screw up your life 
           F                  G 
Since they already blew their own? 


    C 
But when I grow up 
F 
I'm going to run 
C           G 
My own planetarium 
C 
I'll make the shows 
F 
All on my own 
F                       G        F   G 
The world will flock to see 'em 


Verse 
         C 
All that money they've got

They don't give you a jot

When you never get paid 
        F 
And you never get laid 
           F                    G 
And you're full of these stupid hormones 
         F                       G 
And just then they come out with AIDS 

    C 
But when I grow up 
F 
I'm going to be 
C                   G 
An underground film maker 
C 
I'll have my own 
F 
Backlot somewhere 
F                 G       F   G 
On my own half an acre 


Verse 
        C 
So they piss on your dreams 
          F 
Then they muzzle your screams 
        C                  G 
This is why I am not a teenager 
       C 
Making ice cream on trucks 
     F 
Shoveling horse products 
        F                 G 
Washing dishes and making popcorn 
         F             G 
Toilets, oh the indignity!
