《Teenagers Kick Our Butts》歌词

[00:00:00] Teenagers Kick Our Butts - Dar Williams

[00:00:14] When I grew up well it felt great

[00:00:17] I watched how others took their fate

[00:00:20] Some felt afraid and undefended so they got mean

[00:00:26] And they pretended what they knew made them belong more than you

[00:00:32] I'm sure you know there's lots to learn

[00:00:35] But that's not your fault

[00:00:37] That's just your turn oh oh

[00:00:39] Teenagers kick our butts tell us what the future will bring

[00:00:45] Teenagers look at us

[00:00:48] We have not solved everything

[00:00:52] We drink and smoke to numb our pain

[00:00:55] We read junk novels on the plane

[00:00:58] We use authority for show so we can be a little smarter

[00:01:04] We still can grow and many do

[00:01:07] It's when we stop we can't reach you

[00:01:10] We feel the loss you feel the blame

[00:01:13] We're scared to lose don't be the same hey hey

[00:01:17] Teenagers kick our butts tell us what the future will bring

[00:01:23] Teenagers look at us we have not solved everything

[00:01:42] The hometown brought its hero in

[00:01:45] To speak at the high school gym

[00:01:49] He took a breath he took a chance

[00:01:51] He strode up in his leather pants

[00:01:55] And said Gee thanks but

[00:02:03] I'm here today

[00:02:05] Because I fought for what I felt and what I thought

[00:02:09] They put me down they were just wrong

[00:02:12] And now it's they who don't belong oh oh

[00:02:17] Teenagers kick our butts tell us what the future will bring

[00:02:23] Teenagers look at us we have not solved everything

[00:02:29] And when the media tries to act your age

[00:02:32] Don't be seduced they're full of rage

[00:02:35] Find your voice do what it takes

[00:02:38] Make sure you make lots of mistakes

[00:02:41] And find the future that redeems

[00:02:44] Give us hell give us dreams

[00:02:47] And grow and grow and grow

[00:02:52] And someday when some teenagers come to kick your butts

[00:02:57] Well then like I do try to

[00:03:03] Love

[00:03:05] Kick our butts

[00:03:08] Love

[00:03:11] Kick our butts

[00:03:13] Oh I love

[00:03:17] Kick our butts
