Teenage Rampage
Sweet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're out in the streets they turn on the heat
And soon they could be completely in command.
Imagine the sensation
Of teenage occupation
At thirteen they'll be learning
But there's something in the air
Of which we all will be aware.
But they don't care
No
No
No
No
So come join the revolution
Get yourself a constitution
Come join the revolution now
And recognize your age it's a teenage rampage
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now.
So recognize your age it's a teenage rampage
Turn another page on the teenage rampage
Now now now now now now now now . . .
They're getting it on ain't doing it wrong and they're gonna do it
It won't be long.
They gotta be heard
They get the word
That really belongs
And now they're coming on strong.
Imagine the formation
Of teenage legislation
At thirteen they were fooling
But at sixteen they'll be rulin'
And there's something in the air
Of which we all will be aware.
But they don't care
No no no no .
There's something in the air
Of which we all will be aware yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
So come join the revolution
Get yourself a constitution...
The lyrics to Sweet's song Teenage Rampage describe the idea of a young generation taking control and starting a revolution. The first verse talks about how kids are starting to gain power and control over the adults, and that they could soon be completely in command. The second verse talks about how this revolution could lead to a teenage occupation and that by age 14, these young people will be burning with passion and energy. There is something in the air that the adults will be aware of, but the kids don't care as they continue to join the revolution and establish teenage legislation.
Overall, the song captures the idea of a youth movement and rebellion against the status quo. It speaks to the energy and passion of youth, the desire to be heard, and the belief that young people can make a difference by taking control and making their voices heard. The idea of a teenage occupation and teenage legislation may seem far-fetched, but the song highlights the power and potential of young people to create change and make a difference.
