Rock And Roll And The Teenage Desparation Lyrics

Get off the phone, he just broke up with his girlfriend
We dyed our hair and played a show over the weekend
We drive a cadillac from 1967 and in the end all God's children go to heaven
Cut out of class because it's useless information
They got a mouth that just attacks imagination...
I couldn't care because it's only aggravation
I'm all dressed up but I ain't got no invitation
It doesn't matter when we're together...it's innovation
We're kids in corporations, I quit my job because the lack of motivation
Don't need a girl for some kinda inspiration
We got guitars and some amplification
It's rock 'n' roll & the teenage desperation
We're kids in corporations
Lack of motivation
Teenage desperation
The only thing that saves you at all
And I'm so far gone it's insane and it's rock 'n' roll that's to blame
And nothin's gonna keep us down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
