Lyrics
I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs? I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar Living like a prisoner for haters I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor My life's a mess and school is just for suckers I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs? I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar Living like a prisoner for haters I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor My life's a mess and school is just for suckers I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar Living like a prisoner for haters I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor My life's a mess and school is just for suckers
