Teenage Lobotomy Lyrics
Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose.
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy.
Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum.
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy.
REPEAT
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose.
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy.
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum.
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy.

"Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em That I got no cerebellum." i have no idea why, but this line really makes me laugh!
"Teenage Lobotomy," written by the entire band, is yet another loud tribute to mental illness. Since the joke on the Leave Home LP was that the Ramones were doing Carbona, the joke on Rocket to Russia was that the band was now into DDT, the insecticide (also in "I Wanna Be Well").
@Shocktreatment77 Thank you, that explains a lot! When I heard the song when I was 14 I knew what DDT was, and it wasn't a drug. LSD or PCP (or now Ecstasy) would have made perfect sense, but DDT didn't. I just guessed that DDT was some exotic drug so debilitating that only burnt out street people in New York City would do it. Confirmed by the reference in "I Wanna Be Well". Now that I"m in on the joke, it's funny!

is it wrong i think tihs song is terribly funny? oh ive got my reasons just you trust
i was surprised more people didn't comment on that song...it's effing gr8!!!
well...the Ramones rock in general...but yeah...i really like this song...
I always thought this song was about how stupid teenagers are and how shallow. i'm probably wrong but oh well.
this song has been overlooked for a lot of sad reasons but i hope this has a deep meaning relating to teens

@wilde_femme No, you're absolutely right. After he becomes a lobotomy, only then are all the girls in love with him. Because they are stupid and shallow.
