Christmas trees and families are totally out of date,
The forty year old teenager puts make up on his face

He's stuck in a loop, he and his troops,
Smart looking suits, he wants to be juvenile
He's dying his hair gray back to black,
Painting his bag, he has to be versatile

Chorus:
Life is short, yours even shorter
But he will bend, trying to extend,
Act like a fully young man
He's getting high on a common place
Like when he tries to be teenager for life

His mother complains it's getting late,
Start losing fate, "where are my grandchildren?"
Your girlfriend, each month, McDonald's for lunch,
Plays in a band, she sees a point in men

[Chorus]

Life is short, yours even shorter (Life is short)
But he will bend, trying to extend, (He will bend and extend)
Act like a fully young man (Act like a fully young man)
He's getting high, oh, common place
Like he tries to be a
He's, oh (Teenager for life)

He just tries to be a teenager (Teenager for life)
But he's a teenager for life (Teenager for life)
Oh, he's getting higher (Teenager for life)
But he's getting high to be an oh oh (Teenager for life)
Teenager for life

So, come on, come on
Oh, yeah yeah
Teenager for life, oh
