I Was a Teenage Teenager is the fifth track off of Green Day 's thirteenth studio album, Father of All Motherfuckers .

I Was a Teenage Teenager sees the band reflecting on their youth and how puberty affected them. The song follows an outsider who hates going to school as he feels alienated by society in general.

Musically and lyrically, the song is reminiscent of 1992's Kerplunk ! , particularly Christie Road and No One Knows .

The title of the song is most likely a reference to Against Me!'s I Was a Teenage Anarchist - the two bands toured together in 2005 and 2017.

Mike Dirnt said in an interview with Playboy: "I was a [Teenage Teenager]. Seven years horny. Not infrequently I still feel like a teenager. My basic state of health at the beginning of puberty was so dissatisfaction with everything. I was terribly stubborn. And as for the girls. Hey. I didn’t get it right. They just didn’t want to meet me. The youth was a constant struggle, a constant feeling of inadequacy. I had no talents and could not reasonably illuminate or glorify my existence in any way."

Tré Cool then added: "I was a frustrated, searching, sometimes happy teenager. The three of us were the outsiders, the freaks, not the least bit crazy. And no matter how old you are: this teenage brain never completely regresses."

Billie Joe Armstrong finally commented: "I wanted to write a song about what it is like to grow up as an ordinary guy. There are so many extreme teenagers in art, whether werewolves, anarchists, or vampires. Almost all of them are really stupid boys and girls out there, many of them so little on the looser-side."

As of February 2020, this song hasn't been performed live yet.

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna freak you out, but I cannot lie
I don't wanna freak you out, but I cannot lie
So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs?
I don't wanna freak you out, but I cannot lie

[Chorus]
I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar
Living like a prisoner for haters
I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor
My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna freak you out, but I cannot lie
I don't wanna freak you out, but I cannot lie
So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs?
I don't wanna freak you out, but I cannot lie

[Chorus]
I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar
Living like a prisoner for haters
I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor
My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
I was a teenage teenager (I was a teenage teenager)
Full of piss and vinegar
Living like a prisoner for haters (I was a teenager)
I was a teenage teenager (Teenager), I am an alien visitor
My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie
I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie
So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs?
I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar
Living like a prisoner for haters
I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor
My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie
I don't want to freak you out but I cannot lie
So who's holding the drugs? Who's holding the drugs?
I don't want to freak you out, but I cannot lie

I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar
Living like a prisoner for haters
I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor
My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar
Living like a prisoner for haters
I was a teenage teenager, I am an alien visitor
My life's a mess and school is just for suckers

Zebrahead - "Shock And Awe By The Sea" I gotta, I gotta know, I gotta know
If you don't feel it
I gotta, I gotta know, I gotta know
If you don't feel a thing

Shock and awe I don't feel a thing
Nothing I found can numb this pain, that's...
Weezer - "Buddy Holly" What's with these homies dissin' my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?

Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine...
Palaye Royale - "Mr. Doctor Man" I'm Mr. Doctor Man
Who questions his hands
Lost his mind
But clinically fine
But he found a way to cope
Needle in his throat
Falling down
But the world is spinning round and round
He knows

Up, down...
Pearl Jam - "Superblood Wolfmoon" Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon

I can hear you
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now...
Stone Temple Pilots - "Fare Thee Well" Fare thee well so long
Hate to say goodbye to you
I can tell you're gone
By the way I'm missing you
Don't you realize you're everything to me?

Got my heart out in my hand and don't you know it?...
