Magnetic Fields - 85 Why I Am Not A Teenager Chords

[Intro]
C F C G C F
F G F G

[Verse]
         C
You work like a robot
       F
Making diddly-squat
        C                  G
This is why I am not a teenager
         C
They all talk down to you
          F
Like they know what to do
         F                  G
Are they trying to screw up your life
           F                  G
Since they already blew their own?


[Chorus]
    C
But when I grow up
F
I'm going to run
C           G
My own planetarium
C
I'll make the shows
F
All on my own
F                       G        F   G
The world will flock to see 'em


[Verse]
         C
All that money they've got
           F
They don't give you a jot
        C                  G
This is why I am not a teenager
         C
When you never get paid
        F
And you never get laid
           F                    G
And you're full of these stupid hormones
         F                       G
And just then they come out with AIDS

[Chorus]
    C
But when I grow up
F
I'm going to be
C                   G
An underground film maker
C
I'll have my own
F
Backlot somewhere
F                 G       F   G
On my own half an acre


[Verse]
        C
So they p**s on your dreams
          F
Then they muzzle your screams
        C                  G
This is why I am not a teenager
       C
Making ice cream on trucks
     F
Shoveling horse products
        F                 G
Washing dishes and making popcorn
         F             G
Toilets, oh the indignity!


[Outro]
C
p**s on your dreams
F
Muzzle your screams
C                  G
Why I am not a teenager
C
p**s on your dreams
F
Muzzle your screams
F  G  F  G
Ahhh

C
p**s on your dreams
F
Muzzle your screams
C                  G
Why I am not a teenager
C
p**s on your dreams
F
Muzzle your screams
F  G  F  G    C
Ahhh
