Teenage Nervous Breakdown

Jerusalem Slim


Well, some contend this rock'n roll
Is bad for the body, bad for the soul
Bad for the heart, bad for the mind
Bad for the deaf and bad for the blind
It makes some men crazy
And then they talk like fools
Makes some man crazy
And they start to drool
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
I said a breakdown
Unscrupulous operators could confuse
Could exploit and deceive
The conditional reflex theories
Change the probabilities
I said it's a crass and rancous crackass place
With pavlov on the human race
It's a terrible illness, a terrible case
Usually permanent when it takes place
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
Teenage nervous breakdown
I said a breakdown
