Teenage Superstars Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
Without a mighty cross to bear
And when mom complains about my hair
I say "Hey, Mom, I just don't care,"

[Verse 2]
I'm in hell and the angels cry
'Cause I'm trying to sell my soul
And when mom complains about my clothes
I say "Hey, Mom, leave me alone,"

[Chorus]
Come on little girl, it's gonna be alright
Come on little girl, it's gonna be alright
I got one thing on my mind girl
I got one thing on my mind and I don't care
Come on little girl, it's gonna be alright
Come on little girl, it's gonna be alright
I got one thing on my mind girl
I got one thing on my mind and I don't care

[Verse 1]
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
Without a mighty cross to bear
And when mom complains about my hair
I say "Hey, Mom, I just don't care,"
[Verse 2]
I'm in hell and the angels cry
'Cause I'm trying to sell my soul
And when mom complains about my clothes
I say "Hey, Mom, leave me alone,"

[Outro]
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
I'm a teenage Jesus superstar
Teenage Jesus super star
Teenage Jesus super star
Teenage Jesus super star
Teenage Jesus super star
Teenage Jesus super star
Teenage Jesus super star
Teenage Jesus super star
Teenage Jesus super star
