[Verse]
Well, some folks say that this Rock 'N' Roll
Is bad for the body, is bad for the soul
Is bad for the heart, is bad for the mind
Is bad for the deaf, is bad for the blind
Makes some men crazy, and then they talk like fools
Makes some men crazy, and then they start to drool

[Verse]
Unscrupulous operators could confuse
Could exploit and deceive
The conditional reflex theories
Change the probabilities
I've said it's a crass and raucous crackass case
With a Pavlov on the human race
It's a terrible illness, a terrible case
And usually permanent when it takes place

[Chorus]
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
Unscrupulous operators could confuse
Could exploit and deceive
The conditional reflex theories
Change the probabilities
I've said it's a crass and raucous crackass case
With a Pavlov on the human race
It's a terrible illness, a terrible case
And usually permanent when it takes place

[Chorus]

It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
You'll know when you see it
But you really won't believe it!
It's a teenage nervous breakdown

It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's so bad, so bad
It's a teenage nervous breakdown

It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
Iit's gonna break you, t-take ya

It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
