They're gonna clean up your looks With all the lies in the books To make a citizen out of you Because they sleep with a gun And keep an eye on you, son So they can watch all the things you do Because the drugs never work They're gonna give you a smirk 'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean They're gonna rip up your heads Your aspirations to shreds Another cog in the murder machine They said: All teenagers scare the living shit out of me They could care less as long as someone'll bleed So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me The boys and girls in the clique The awful names that they stick You're never gonna fit in much, kid But if you're troubled and hurt What you got under your shirt Will make them pay for the things that they did They said: All teenagers scare the living shit out of me They could care less as long as someone'll bleed So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me Oh, yeah! They said: All teenagers scare the living shit out of me They could care less as long as someone'll bleed So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me All together now! Teenagers scare the living shit out of me They could care less as long as someone'll bleed So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me Teenagers scare the living shit out of me They could care less as long as someone'll bleed So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

A letra foi inspirada por uma experiência desconfortável de Gerard Way no metrô de Nova York, onde ele se sentiu "velho" e alheio ao estar cercado por estudantes do ensino médio.
Way mencionou que a música quase não entrou no álbum devido à sua temática delicada sobre violência armada e o grave problema de jovens matando outros jovens nos Estados Unidos.
A faixa utiliza a batida da música "Bang a Gong (Get It On)", da banda T Rex.
O single alcançou a 25ª posição na lista das 100 Melhores Músicas de 2007 da revista Rolling Stone.
Além de ser o quarto single do trio The Black Parade, a música foi certificada Ouro pela RIAA.
Em agosto de 2007, "Teenagers" acabou disponível para download no jogo Guitar Hero II para Xbox 360, junto com "Famous Last Words" e "This Is How I Disappear".
