So this award goes out to you
A dedication to the youth
From magazines for teens that really care
Care enough to want to prove
That the pretty ones
Have got less to lose

Hey teenager of the year
Win the chance to judge your peers
Hey teenager of the year
Your new life begins right here

And you won't suffer any more
Validation's your reward
Plus hair and make-up tips
And so much more
For the luckiest of teens
The shallowest of dreams
This model youth

Hey teenager of the year
Win the chance to judge your peers
Hey teenager of the year
Your new life begins right here

So hey, at least try
Maybe qualify
And that piece of mind
Proves that you're alright

Hey teenager of the year
Win the chance to judge your peers
Hey teenager of the year
Your new life begins right here
