Teenage Spirit lyrics

Let them measure out the room

The dimension, the effect

Let them formulate the state

Of each and every bit

Let them price and calculate

What and what is not

Let them choose and demonstrate

What they have and haven't got

And I say "Oh, woah, I don't know"

"Oh, woah, I don't know"

If I could open up my chest

Pour out of myself

And in a corner I should rest

Rain there in the shelf

Then I'd be soaked up

By words of mountaintops

To finally have spoken out

A line that someone dropped

And I say "Oh, woah, I can know"

"Oh, woah, I can know"

---

Things that I could do

See the pawn has the long way home

Go

Let them measure out the room

The dimension, the effect

Let them formulate the state

Of each and every bit

Let them price and calculate

What and what is not

Let them choose and demonstrate

What they have and haven't got

And I say "Oh, woah, I don't know"

Might I then will come right next to you

Without the fear of running after

Might I talk when I'm talking through

Then I'll be faster

I'm just supposed to stand with you

Ask you for my clothes

No more shall I sing for you

But no, but no, but no, no, no, no

---

Things that I could do

And the pawn had a long way home

'Cause the pawn wouldn't need to know
