Smells Like Teenage Suicide - Matthew Strachan

Smells Like Teenage Suicide Lyrics

Has anyone seen Lenny?
He didn’t take it well
Ever since his only son
Went and shot himself to hell
They said that he was crazy
They said he was insane
But I believe that he’d been playing
Those heavy metal songs again
LP’s playing backwards
Put voices in his head
He walked into a school ground
One hundred children dead
Smells like teenage suicide
An adolescent genocide
It’s just a passing fad you see
In time they’ll grow up strong like you and me

As much as I love Lenny
We’re really not the same
I raised my son to be a Christian
But he soon began to change
At first he wouldn’t shower
And then he grew his hair
He played the heavy music
Much to our depair
LP’s playing backwards
Put voices in my head
I walked into his college
One hundred students dead
Smells like mid-life suicide
A menopausal genocide
The heavy music got to me
It’ll get you too just wait and see
