Am Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun G With a lighter and some hairspray, Smoking in the girls' room Am Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's G By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody Am Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some G Now we look back and see that she didn't know how Am We never thought that we'd get caught up G Stuck in the teenage waste [CHORUS] As we explode Dm Am G As we explode Am Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the G Kmart rolling around in them to see if you would get Am Prickled slip the acid on your tongue rooftop G Mall parkade, we couldn't get enough Am Then count the stars and the ten million woes G Just you and the universe judging each other Am We never knew that we'd get caught up G Stuck in the teenage waste [CHORUS] Dm Am G As we explode Dm Am G As we explode Dm Am G As we explode Dm Am G As we let go Am It's a fight, it's a fight and you G Finally belong got a shiner now and Am It's more than a battle scar, more than a battle scar, G Such a good, good story to tell Am At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break G Such a good, good story to tell Am You bully, you break, you bully, you break G You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake Am You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt G You hit it and you're in it Am And it's spinning G And it's wild Am We never thought that we'd get caught up G Stuck in the teenage waste [CHORUS] Dm Am G As we explode Dm Am G As we explode Dm Am G As we explode Dm Am G As we let go Am We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars G We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far Am We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars G We're not very far, we're not very far Am And it's you and me in the open air G It's truth or dare, we don't care Am We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars Am G We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
