We're all living off nostalgia, the promise of a future undelivered
There ain't no tracking number for that one, no no no
I am your maker, I am your maker, I am your maker and I'm soon to be your taker
I only came for your money, not your sympathy
I am your countercultural savior
I am your teenage dream
The inspiration for your worst behavior
Hear my siren scream (ow!)
Here have a sniff (ow!) here have a spliff (oh!) just pass it here and watch me fade away
There ain't no nothing in the world more important than me, nah
Pay no attention to the voice behind the mirror, just get distracted watch me disappear
The polish of a golden ring that's tarnished into brass
I am your countercultural savior, oh I am your teenage dream
The tastemaker of your worst behavior, the reason you can't sleep
I am your countercultural savior, Oh I am the Jesus/Mary of your teenage dream
I always keep you on your worst behavior, hear my siren scream (ow!)
I think I lost my mind in a teenage dream
I think I lost my mind and I don't ever want to sleep again
I think I lost my mind in a waking nightmare
I think I lost my mind and I don't think I'll ever sleep again
Countercultural savior, I am the father figure of your teenage dream
The tastemaker of your worst behavior, the reason you can't sleep
Your countercultural savior, I am the Jesus/Mary of your teenage dream
I always keep you on your worst behavior, hear my siren scream (ow!)
