Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don't know why
But I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn't been so clean
[Verse 2]
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I wish I'd been a
Wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen
Fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen
And burning up a bible
Feeling super, super, super
Suicidal
[Verse 4]
The wasted years
The wasted youth
The pretty lies
The ugly truth
And the day has come
Where I have died
Only to find
I've come alive
[Verse 5]
I wanna be a virgin, pure
A 21st century whore
I want back my virginity
So I can feel infinity
[Verse 6]
I wanna drink until I ache
I wanna make a big mistake
I want blood, guts and angel cake
I'm gonna puke it anyway
[Verse 7]
Yeah, I wish I'd been a
Wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen
Fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen
And burning up a bible
Feeling super, super, super
Suicidal
[Verse 8]
The wasted years
The wasted youth
The pretty lies
The ugly truth
The day has come
Where I have died
Only to find
I've come alive
[Verse 9]
Come alive
I've come alive
[Verse 10]
I wish I wasn't such a narcissist
I wish I didn't really kiss the mirror
When I'm on my own
Oh God
I'm gonna die alone
[Verse 11]
Adolescence didn't make sense
A little loss of innocence
The ugly years
Of being a fool
Ain't youth meant to
Be beautiful
[Verse 12]
Yeah, I wish I'd been a
Wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen
Fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen
And burning up a bible
Feeling super, super, super
Suicidal
[Verse 13]
The wasted years
The wasted youth
The pretty lies
The ugly truth
And the day has come
Where I have died
Only to find
I've come alive
[Verse 14]
Only to find
I've come alive
Only to find
I've come alive
Come alive
[Verse 15]
(Feeling super, super, super)
(Feeling super, super, super)
(Feeling super, super, super)
Come alive
