The Magnetic Fields – 85 Why I Am Not A Teenager (Guitar)

         C
You work like a robot

       F
Making diddly-squat

        C                  G
This is why I am not a teenager

         C
They all talk down to you

          F
Like they know what to do

         F                  G
Are they trying to screw up your life

           F                  G
Since they already blew their own?

    C
But when I grow up

F
I'm going to run

C           G
My own planetarium

C
I'll make the shows

F
All on my own

F                       G        F   G
The world will flock to see 'em

         C
All that money they've got

           F
They don't give you a jot

        C                  G
This is why I am not a teenager

         C
When you never get paid

        F
And you never get laid

           F                    G
And you're full of these stupid hormones

         F                       G
And just then they come out with AIDS

    C
But when I grow up

F
I'm going to be

C                   G
An underground film maker

C
I'll have my own

F
Backlot somewhere

F                 G       F   G
On my own half an acre

        C
So they piss on your dreams

          F
Then they muzzle your screams

        C                  G
This is why I am not a teenager

       C
Making ice cream on trucks

     F
Shoveling horse products

        F                 G
Washing dishes and making popcorn

         F             G
Toilets, oh the indignity!

C
Piss on your dreams

F
Muzzle your screams

C                  G
Why I am not a teenager

C
Piss on your dreams

F
Muzzle your screams

F  G  F  G
Ahhh

C
Piss on your dreams

F
Muzzle your screams

C                  G
Why I am not a teenager

C
Piss on your dreams

F
Muzzle your screams

F  G  F  G    C
Ahhh
