Well, some contend that this rock'n'roll
G5
Is bad for the body, bad for the soul
G5
Is bad for the heart, bad for the mind
G5
Bad for the deaf and bad for the blind

Could exploit and deceive
G5
The conditional reflex theories

With a Pavlov on the human race
C5
It's a terrible illness, a terrible case
G5 N.C.
And usually permanent when it takes place
[Chorus]

G5
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
F5

C5 D5 N.C. D5
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
