What Teenagers Want
Location
I want a concert ticket
I want it cheap off the streets
I want it to my favorite band
I want to go.
And no one can stop me.
I want to wear my favorite top
And my ripped skinny jeans
I want to strut
Down the street like a
Badass in a slow motion
Movie scene,
Past all the houses
With the good little girls
Sitting in bed,
Past the courthouse where
The drunks go to wed.
I want to lose myself in
The music where nothing else matters.
I want that concert ticket bad.
I want it to start rumors
About me, to keep the children
Off the streets and the mothers
To keep hating me.
When I find it, I'll hold
On to that ticket with my life,
Through the caps and gowns
And the college rifts,
It'll be the goddamned
Ticket they bury me with.
