Lyrics for Teenage Wasteland

Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight to prove I'm right And I don't need to be forgiven Don't cry, don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland My kids ain't gonna break my heart My greed ain't gonna spoil their part This land just has to be a new one I'm gonna tan underneath a new sun Don't have the latest suit the long grass is my fruit I am nearly an ordinary man The family is free to do just as they please We all sleep together in the caravan Hey you, don't walk on the turnips! My lord, when will they ever learn it? Look there nations of travelling children No where to go to escape the chill wind Don't cry, don't raise your eye It's only Teenage Wasteland My kids ain't gonna break my heart My greed ain't gonna spoil their part This land just has to be a new one I'm gonna tan underneath a new sun Sally, take my hand travel south cross land Put out the fire and don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here the happy ones are near Let's get home before we get older Teenage Wasteland Teenage Wasteland Teenage Wasteland It's only Teenage Wasteland Teenage Wasteland It's only Teenage Wasteland Teenage Wasteland It's only Teenage Wasteland They're all wasted!
