Sixteen
© 2003 T. Hooper

Verse 1:

Can't go to work and you don't like school
Too old to play, too young to be cool
Your mom's a drag and your daddy don't care
You pierce your tongue and you dye your hair
You want to grow up, but you're not quite there
You think you're so smart, but you're so unaware

Chorus 1:

Cause you're 16, beauty queen
All grown up if you know what I mean
You are 16, in the teenage scene
Don't know nothing, think you know everything

Verse 2:

Wanna push the limits, don't know what to do
Still scared of anyone who's different from you
You criticize what you don't understand
You want the world in the palm of your hand
You feel you're living in a no man's land
Not quite ready to take command

Chorus 2:

Cause you're 16, mall queen
Just another snotty upper middle class teen
You are 16, on the suburban scene
Don't know nothing, think you know everything

Verse 3:

Smokin' a fatty and trippin' on X
Fumblin' thru your messy high school sex
Think you're the first one to go thru that
You're 'bout as special as a baseball bat
Your momma did it, wanna be like that?
In the end you're still a snot-nosed brat
(Chorus)

Chorus 3:

Cause you're 16, suburban queen
Your dull life is just an endless routine
You are 16, in the high school scene
Don't know nothing, think you know everything

Outro:

You are 16, 16, 16, 16
You are 16, 16, 16!!!
