Teenage Lament ’74 Lyrics By Alice Cooper

    what a drag it is
    in these gold lame jeans
    is this the coolest way
    to get though your teens
    well i cut my hair weird
    i read that it was in
    i look like a rooster
    that was drowned and raised again

    what are you going to do
    i’ll tell you what i’m going to do
    why don’t you get away
    i’m going to leave today

    i ran into my room
    and i fell down on my knees
    well i thought that fifteen
    was going to be a breeze
    i picked up my
    to blast away the clouds
    somebody in the next room yelled
    you got to turn that damn thing down

    what are you going to do
    i’ll tell you what i’m going to do
    why don’t you get away
    well i’m going to cry all day

    and i know trouble is brewing out there
    but i can hardly care
    they fight all night about his private secretary
    lipstick stain blonde hair

    what are you going to do
    i’ll tell you what i’m going to do
    why don’t you run away
    i’m going to leave today
    but even i don’t know what i’m going to do
    don’t know what i’m going to do
    no

    what are you going to do
    i’ll tell you what i’m going to do
    why don’t you run away
    i’m going to leave today

    what are you going to do
    i’ll tell you what i’m going to do
    why don’t you get away
    i’d rather to cry all day
