I think I'm gonna start a band
That great depression is at hand
People will mourn across the land
Yeah, I'm gonna start a band
Or maybe I should write a book
And let the critics have a look
They'll hail me as the new James Joyce
The audience won't have a choice
Chorus
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
Sixteen years tomorrow
And I'll never leave
I'm just 16 and tired of life
under my pillow is a knife
I'm sick and tired of this world
But yet I haven't kissed a girl
I know this world is full of pain
And yeah, I have been cried in vain
'Cause my dog died the other day
Nothing can wash the tears away
Chorus
Na na...
And I won't sing that I love you
I only sing things that are true
And I won't sing no la la la la la
Because I'm not in love with you
Chorus (x3)
