We are the teens
We are the teens
We are the teens
We are the teens
We are the teens
Oh oh eh eh.....
We will even pick a fight
and make heads clash!
Just the thought of school
is so boring, so boring!
If you give the answer sheet
along with the question paper,
we'll easily score a hundred out of hundred!
Hey... tell the Chief Minister!
Tell the Prime Minister!
Holidays all seven days are a must!
Hey, it's not just NEET,
all exams are a complete waste!
When it comes to knowledge, we're the best!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We will even pick a fight
and make heads clash!
Just the thought of school
is so boring, so boring!
If you give the answer sheet
along with the question paper,
we'll easily score a hundred out of hundred!
Hey... tell the Chief Minister!
Tell the Prime Minister!
Holidays all seven days are a must, ah!
Hey, it's not just NEET,
all exams are a complete waste!
When it comes to knowledge, we're the best!
We are the teens, ah ah ah!
We are the teens, oh oh oh!
Aah... Boomers, boomers,
don't put jammers on us!
Dreamers, dreamers,
we are lazy beamers!
We are pathbreakers,
so don't put in our way
any speed breakers!
Oh, school life,
skipping classes,
making fools of teachers—
those are our goals!
Setting all these rules
is making us teens
totally frustrated!
Wings sprout on us
only to fly high up,
and the reason we fly high
is to learn about the world!
When it comes to gaining knowledge
just to get a degree,
we'd rather dodge and skip it!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
Oh oh eh eh.....
We will even pick a fight
and make heads clash!
Just the thought of school
is so boring, so boring!
If you give the answer sheet
along with the question paper,
we'll easily score a hundred out of hundred!
Hey... tell the Chief Minister!
Tell the Prime Minister!
Holidays all seven days are a must!
Hey, it's not just NEET,
all exams are a complete waste!
When it comes to knowledge, we're the best!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!
We are the teens!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'We Are The Teens' from the 2024 film Teenz, composed by D. Imman with lyrics by director Radhakrishnan Parthiban, serves as an energetic and humorous youth anthem. The song encapsulates the high-spirited defiance, wit, and aspirations of teenagers who feel constrained by traditional schooling systems, exams like NEET, and rigid rules imposed by older generations ('boomers'). They jokingly demand seven-day weekends and pre-filled answer papers while asserting that true intelligence isn't measured by rote examinations. Beneath the playfulness, the lyrics carry a message about real-world learning and freedom. The teenagers view themselves as dreamers and path-breakers eager to explore the world and learn from life rather than merely chasing degrees. The track dynamically captures the voice of modern adolescents claiming their space, independence, and identity with confidence.
