See we are a brainwashed generation Picking up old folks premonitions about How we should stay the f*** off their well groomed lawns Kids these days Popping mollys Smoking joints Slugging back the tequila with no plans On waking up tomorrow Bob Marley & Notorious B.I.G. are my spirit animals Too bad I’m a teenage white girl who has a mother Who doesn’t like the stench that reggae and rap bring along As she sings to the “old legends” as she would say But sorry I’m not a fan of prince this or any day Teenagers are pretty f***ed up people Believe me I should know because I'm the girl that people come to To dump their problems on So what's it this time? Your boyfriends really hot but your grades suck "But Ali I really f***ing hate myself" What do you expect me to do I'm the same age as you… Physically Mentally not so much Teenagers are brainwashed to hate themselves Whether you are the quarter back or the Harry Potter freak I mean okay some of us don't show it But we are great actors Either we are too fat Too skinny Too short Too tall Not smart enough Or know-it-alls My ears are too big My butts not large enough I honestly don't give a flying f*** As a member of the teenage society I would like to say Sometimes being apathetic about everything is okay Also that when I say “mom can I go to the party” Say “yes” Because I don't get invited to a lot of parties When I mean parties Its not what you're brainwashed to think Its basically me and my friends watching Netflix While we drink Root beer & eat food Brain washed to believe all of us teenagers Have a Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus life style I don’t have the best of both worlds sorry Miley

I'm not as great of a kid as my mother says I am I'm not as ginormous as I feel I'm not as ugly as the mirror shows I'm not as smart as my teachers say I am I'm not as bad as this poem is I swear But I'm brainwashed to think so
