I'm a brand new teenager get me out of here   angst for my breakfast too young to buy beer   the girls look but don't see   the boys they all beat on me   teachers seem to agree   that I'm not ready for this potpourri      oh if this is the start of the best days of all   then I'm going home and I'm taking my ball   It sucks to be 13   It sucks to be 13   stuck in the midst of kid withdrawal      I'm a brand new teenager come take me away   face full of craters and a mouth in full decay   my mom she still cuts my hair   and lays out my clothes to wear   my daddy is too drunk to care   life's a round hole...and I'm a pegged square      12 was better 10 was ideal   no worries about sex appeal   It sucks to be 13   It sucks to be 13   being ground under everyone's heel      I'm a brand new teenager my dreams should be a crime   stacked with cheerleaders and other strangers sublime   yet mornings I don't understand   still holding it in my hand   please try not to misunderstand   I'm a boy trying to become a man      I think I'll find me a hole in the ground   where I can plot my revenge and never be found   It sucks to be 13   It sucks to be 13   with all them dangers around
