  • I’m sick of living under everybody’s shadow
    I’m sick of everyone’s success, I know that’s shallow
    I’m sick of hearing people lie to get by, to get by
    I’m sick of people that can’t look me in the eye all the time
    I’m tired of girls I’m tired of boys I’m tired of nonsense
    I’m ta ta ta ta ta ta tired of the process
    I’m sick and tired of always feeling second best
    I’m tired of never ever making any progress

    To all the cool kids on my block
    Where’s the original thought, tell me?

    Oh yeah you never heard us
    Don’t ever try to turn us down
    We’re making all the noise
    We’re making teenage sounds
    It’s the same old song and dance
    We’re sick of everybody trying to be famous

    I’m sick of always operating out of fear
    I’m sick of being called a fag because I’m queer
    I’m sick of everybody saying to be happy
    I’m positive that I’m allowed to have a bad day
    I’m tired of everybody trying to be a DJ
    Yeah I can also pick my favorite songs and press play
    I’m sick of people saying rock n roll is dead
    Learn how to play guitar and save yourself instead

    To all the cool kids on my block
    Where’s the original thought, tell me?
    Oh yeah you never heard us

    Don’t ever try to turn us down
    We’re making all the noise
    We’re making teenage sounds
    It’s the same old song and dance
    We’re sick of everybody trying to be famous

    The truth is hard to swallow when it’s true
    The truth is hard to swallow when it’s choking you
    The truth is hard to swallow when it’s true
    The truth is hard to swallow when it’s choking you

    Oh yeah you never heard us
    Don’t ever try to turn us down
    We’re making all the noise
    We’re making teenage sounds
    It’s the same old song and dance
    We’re sick of everybody trying to be famous

    I’m sick of everybody trying to be famous
    I’m sick of everybody trying to be famous
    I’m sick of everybody trying to be famous
    I’m sick of everybody trying to be famous Writer/s: TYLER GLENN
