I'm getting board
Being part of mankind
There's not a lot to do no more
This race is a waste of time
People rushing everywhere
Swarming around like flies
Think I”ll buy a 44
Give ‘em all a surprise
Think I'm gonna kill myself
Cause a little suicide
Stick around for a couple of days
What a scandal if I died
Yeah I'm gonna kill myself
Get a little headline news
I'd like to see
What the papers say
On the state of teenage blues
Bridge:
A rift in my family
I can't use the car
I gotta be in by 10 o'clock
Who do they think they are
I'd make an exception
If you wanna save my life
Brigitte Bardot's gotta come
And see me every night
Think I'm gonna kill myself
Cause a little suicide
Stick around for a couple of days
What a scandal if I died
Yeah I'm gonna kill myself
Get a little headline news
I'd like to see
What the papers say
On the state of teenage blues
Bridge:
On the state of teenage blues
Bridge:
kill myself Suicide
What a scandal if I died
...Suicide... Headline news
On the state of teenage blues
