If everything has two sides I guess there is a downside To only seeing the bright side of life Cause if you are not grounded Or your heads in the clouds and You lose sight of whats real and whats right So we need some kind of equalizing force To take us down when we get on our high horse So we have teenagers Teenagers Theyll expose you as a fool Like its their mission to Teenagers Teenagers I know it feels personal Thats because it is But who else could protect us From having fun in public From wearing things that might be out of style And who else could remind us Our best years are behind us Not getting any younger Were dying When theyre not eating, theyre just trying to help Sometimes its hard to beat yourself up by yourself So we have teenagers Teenagers When we want them gone, theyre here When we dont, they disappear Oh Teenagers Teenagers You might think theyre being selfish Well, sometimes they are Of course the ones I have are the exceptions to the rule Theyre perfect little angels all the time they are asleep I guess that as their father, the best that I can do Is help my babies become good adults, not perfect in between They say these years will fly by So we should savor this time Theres so much to savor these days Before you know it, theyre gone With little kids of their own Grateful for the way they were raised So, if we can keep from killing them til then Maybe one day we will all have sweet revenge When they have teenagers Teenagers You know they say what goes around Comes back to your kids when they have their own Teenagers Teenagers
