Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All over the land the kids are finally startin' to get the upper hand.
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 at fourteen they'll be burnin'
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...
