Tom Flannery It Sucks To Be 13
I'm a brand new teenager get me out of hereangst for my
breakfast too young to buy beer
the girls look but don't see
the boys they all beat on me
teachers seem to agree
that I'm not ready for this potpourri
oh if this is the start of the best days of all
then I'm going home and I'm taking my ball
It sucks to be 13
It sucks to be 13
stuck in the midst of kid withdrawal
I'm a brand new teenager come take me away
face full of craters and a mouth in full decay
my mom she still cuts my hair
and lays out my clothes to wear
my daddy is too drunk to care
life's a round hole...and I'm a pegged square
12 was better 10 was ideal
no worries about sex appeal
It sucks to be 13
It sucks to be 13
being ground under everyone's heel
I'm a brand new teenager my dreams should be a crime
stacked with cheerleaders and other strangers sublime
yet mornings I don't understand
still holding it in my hand
please try not to misunderstand
I'm a boy trying to become a man
I think I'll find me a hole in the ground
where I can plot my revenge and never be found
It sucks to be 13
It sucks to be 13
with all them dangers around
