Teenage Hero
Why don't you change your clothes
Why don't you do your hair
Thats all his mother could say
But he didn't care
Because there's a world out there
Filled with hearts of gold
He's gonna steal that treasure
Before he gets too old
He was the lonely one, with eyes to cut stone
Went from floor to floor
But never slept alone
He wrote songs that were sung
And words that were wrung on washing lines
For all the girls that wanted good times
Out of their prisons of love
He was a teenage hero
And threw it all away
Said too much too fast
Then had nothing to say
He was a teenage hero
Who stole their hearts away
Shattered every last dream
Then had nothing to say
Blood covered fists
And colour in his hair
They all wanted his face, but he didn't care
Because in a world out there
Where death is rattling bones
People wanna escape
Don't wanna be alone
So as soon as he won he was moving on to electric lights
And all the stars that burn so bright
Just to wither and die
He was a teenage hero
And threw it all away
Said too much too fast
Then had nothing to say
He was a teenage hero
Who stole their hearts away
Shattered every last dream
Then had nothing to say
Though when he went looking for a home that night
A black heart filled with suicide
But a full moon leaves nothing to hide
He was a teenage hero
And threw it all away
Said too much too fast
Then had nothing to say
He was a teenage hero
Who stole their hearts away
Shattered every last dream
Then had nothing to say
Why don't you do your hair
Thats all his mother could say
But he didn't care
Because there's a world out there
Filled with hearts of gold
He's gonna steal that treasure
Before he gets too old
He was the lonely one, with eyes to cut stone
Went from floor to floor
But never slept alone
He wrote songs that were sung
And words that were wrung on washing lines
For all the girls that wanted good times
Out of their prisons of love
He was a teenage hero
And threw it all away
Said too much too fast
Then had nothing to say
He was a teenage hero
Who stole their hearts away
Shattered every last dream
Then had nothing to say
Blood covered fists
And colour in his hair
They all wanted his face, but he didn't care
Because in a world out there
Where death is rattling bones
People wanna escape
Don't wanna be alone
So as soon as he won he was moving on to electric lights
And all the stars that burn so bright
Just to wither and die
He was a teenage hero
And threw it all away
Said too much too fast
Then had nothing to say
He was a teenage hero
Who stole their hearts away
Shattered every last dream
Then had nothing to say
Though when he went looking for a home that night
A black heart filled with suicide
But a full moon leaves nothing to hide
He was a teenage hero
And threw it all away
Said too much too fast
Then had nothing to say
He was a teenage hero
Who stole their hearts away
Shattered every last dream
Then had nothing to say
