Pressure here and pressure there/ you tell another lie
People touch and people stare/ you tell the world goodbye
This is an ecstatic scene/ cant get enough of it
Legal system rnakes you scream/ you never try to fit
Violence just for violence's sake/ but do you really care
Violence was your first mistake/ and will you ever dare
People come and people go/ you gotta make it stick
No one ever really knows/ the system makes you sick

Teenage Shutdown. One big let down
Teenage Shutdown. One big let down

People on the run around/ ain't got a fucking clue
Never see me on the ground/I don't get through to you
Promises I never keep/ you know it's no surprise
Now I'm in it far too deep/ and you just hide your eyes
Everybody gives it up/ you dont know how to stop
You never get another shot/ and I'm the one on top
People learning how to cry/ it's just another fad
People learning how to die/ and that's what makes me mad

Teenage Shutdown. One big let down
Teenage Shutdown. One big let down

So now you lake another lesson/ but will you ever learn?
Now I've got another weapon/I leave you here to burn
Teenage is what teenage does/ you don't know what to do
Teenage aint what teenage was/ I'm coming after you
Try to tell me what to do/ But I don't hear at all
The system's falling down on you/you gotta take the fall
People get a little close/ that's when I run and hide
It's life that l depend on most/ It's just to save my pride

Teenage Shutdown. One big let down
Teenage Shutdown. One big let down
