I'm Going To Be A Teenage Idol

Well, there's slim times when my words won't rhyme And the hills I face are a long hard climb I just sit cross-legged with my old guitar Ooh it kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star Well, it makes me laugh, Lord, it makes me cry And I think for once let me just get high Let me get electric, put a silk suit on Turn my old guitar into atomic gun And root-toot-shoot myself to fame Every kid alive gonna know my name An overnight phenomenon like there's never been A motivated supersonic king of the scene I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break I'm gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes You cannot imagine what it means to me I'm gonna grab myself a place in history A teenage idol, o! That's what I'm gonna be, o yeah Well, life is short and the world is rough And if you're gonna boogie, boy, you got to be tough Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive I just drink myself to sleep each night And so I pray to the teenage god of rock If I make it big, let me stay on top You got to cut me loose from this one room dive Put me on the ladder, keep this boy alive And root-toot-shoot myself to fame Every kid alive gonna know my name An overnight phenomenon like there's never been A motivated supersonic king of the scene I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break I'm gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes You can't imagine what it means to me I'm gonna grab myself a place in a history A teenage idol, oh, eh, ooh That's what I'm gonna be
