The most clichéd angsty-teen lyrics... ever!

I'm An Adult Now
Well, I don't hate my parents
I don't get drunk just to spite them
I've got my own reasons to drink now
Think I'll call my dad up and invite him
I can sleep in 'til noon anytime I want
Though there's not many days that I do
Gotta get up and take on that world
When you're an adult it's no cliche, it's the truth
'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

I can't even look at young girls anymore
People will think I'm some kind of pervert
Adult sex is either boring or dirty
Young people they can get away with murder
I don't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl boy loses girl
More like man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

I can't take any more illicit drugs
I can't afford any artificial joy
I'd sure look like a fool lying dead in a ditch somewhere
With a mind full of chemicals like some cheese-eating high school boy

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts
And I guess that it won't be long
'Til I'm sitting in a room with a bunch of people whose necks and backs are aching
Whose sight and hearing's failing who just can't seem to get it up
Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket
Noise, but I can't hear anything
Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
Some guy screaming in a leather jacket
Wooah!

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

- The Pursuit Of Happiness
 
I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

[chours:]
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

Just like before

[chours (x2)]

shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up, shut up, shut up

I'm about to BREAK

Ahhh, I used to listen to Korn when I was thirteen. I was never really into dark music like that but I don't know, sometimes I'll still listen to Korn. Ahem. Not that I'll ever admit it. :D

Anyway. I'd like to nominate this song:

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.

I’ve lived a life that’s full.
I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

-----

And, for the record, yes I agree: it's Creep, not Freek.
 
come on now....get the lyrics right ;)

"And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
You cunt, I'm not a queer
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
And each and every highway
And know much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets. I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention.
But dig, what I have to do
I'll saw it through with no devotion
Of that, take care and just
Be careful along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

There were times,
I´m sure you knew
When there was but but
Fuck fuck fuck all else to do
But through it all,
When there was doubt
I shot it up i kicked it out
I faced the wall, and the fall
And did it my way.

iVE LOVED AND BEEN A SNAKE
I´ve had my fill, my share of LIVING
And now, the tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think, I killed a cat
And may I say, oh no, not their way
But no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a brat,
What has he got
When he finds out that he cannot
Say the things he truly feels
But only the words,
Not what he feels
The record shows,
I´ve got no clothes
And did it my way"



:cool:
 
Creep

can we really be this far in to this thread and no-one has mentioned

THE FECKING MANIC STREET PREACHERS yet?

Now, much as I like them, Green Day should be mentioned here for:

- - -

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me
and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
When the city sleeps
and I'm the only one
and I walk alone

I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
Till then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
that divides me somewhere in my mind
on the borderline
of the edge and where
I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
check my vital signs
no, I'm still alive
and I walk alone

I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
Till then I walk alone

Cute.

what about this little beauty from Placebo

Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I’m paralysed.
You see through my disguise

At the drive-in, double feature,
Pull the lever, break the fever
And say your last goodbyes.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.
Trapped in amber, petrified.
And still not satisfied

Airs and social graces, elocution so divine.
I’ll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,
Both spineless and sublime.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.
 
The mighty Husker Du have had some questionable moments.

Brick out the window, top of the head
Brick on the head
'Cause you're a fuckhead
Brick at the window, top of my head

:confused:

If there's one thing that I can't explain
Is why the world has to have so much pain
With all the ways of communicating
We can't get in touch with who we're hating

:(

"You're A Soldier"

Running around like an insane maniac
Anywhere that you please
Taking advantage of anyone handy
To satisfy your disease

You're a soldier

Going off on a big adventure
You never want it to end
Saving up a million stories
To tell to all your friends

You're a soldier

Knocking over everything that's standing in your way
Can you tell me just how many did you kill today

You're a soldier

Patrolling the world with your little boy face
And a grown up gun that shoots
You got a fresh scrubbed teenage outlook on terror
And a khaki attitude

You're a soldier

:rolleyes:
 
And here's me thinking it was the veritable:

"NO MUM, I WON'T TIDY MY ROOM, I DON"T CARE IF I GET NO POCKET MONEY THIS WEEK!............A boiled egg and toasty soldiers would be lovely though....."


or "My Way Or The Highway" by the Limp Biscuit.
 
i must say that i quite like maximo park, they're definitely one of the better bands of this new wawe of british bands, but they're lyrics are absolutely dreadful. more infantile 13-year old teenage boy than oscar wilde over them.
 
the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do i get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
tell me i'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son
tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
and i still believe that i cannot be saved
