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. 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. 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. I'm a teenage Jesus superstar.
