A letra:
I'm
getting bored
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 forty
four
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
A rift in my family
I
can't use the car
I gotta be in by ten o'clock
Who do they
think they are
I'd make an
exception
If you want to save my life
Brigitte Bardot gotta
come
And see me every night
I 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
On the state of teenage blues
Kill myself,
suicide
What a scandal if I died
Suicide, headline news
On
the state of teenage blues
