Teenage Rampage
Sweet · Sweet, Live in America [2009]
We want Sweet!
We want Sweet!
All over the land the kids have found its time to get the upper hand
They're out on the streets they turn up the heat and soon they could be
Completely in command
Imagine the sensation of Teenage occupation
At thirteen they'd be leaning and at fourteen they'd be burning
But there's something in the air of which we all would be aware
But they don't care! No! No! No! No!
So come and join the revolution, get yourself a constitution
And join the revolution now!
Recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now!
Recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now!
They're getting it on ain't doing it wrong, they're gonna do it,
and it won't be long.
They've gotta be heard, they've got the word they really belong
And now they're coming on strong.
Imagine the formation of teenage legislation
At thirteen they were fooling but at sixteen they'll be ruling
And there's something in the air of which we all will be aware
But they don't care! No! No! No! No!
So come and join the revolution, get yourself a constitution
And join the revolution now!
Recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now!
Recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now!
Teenage Rampage
Sweet's "Teenage Rampage" stands as a defining track from their 2009 live album, capturing the raw energy and punk ethos that characterized their career. Released during a period of intense touring, the recording reflects the band's commitment to authentic performance over polished production. The song exemplifies the post-punk revival sound that swept the UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s, blending driving rhythms with melodic sensibilities that resonated with a generation of fans. As part of their extensive discography, this track highlights the band's ability to deliver high-octane music that remains relevant decades later. It serves as a testament to their enduring influence on the alternative rock scene and their status as a staple of the British punk revival movement.
