Lyric discussion by MrsNewVegas 

I think she is being extremely sarcastic, considering that the title of the song is "teen idle" rather than "teen idol"since the definition of idle is without worth or lacking in meaning. she must mean that all of that teen stuff was not meaningful while the real girls who were "16 and burning up a bible" had so much more worth, even if they wish they were bevaing like the "popular people" most of the album is about that sort of thing, how this world creates nobodys who are fake; or atleast America does anyway. and its better to be real and true to yourself for yourself since that leads to a much healthier lif. i just love her I wish her and her music were around when I was in highschool.

@MrsNewVegas Exactly!!! The whole album is about that... about sarcastically mocking of american stereotypes and culture. This is just that... She loved his own teen years burning bibles and being just her... ;)
