Teenage Wasteland

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
I don’t need to be forgiven

My kids ain’t gonna break my heart
My greed ain’t gonna spoil their part
This life just has to be a new one
I’m gonna tan underneath a new sun

Don’t cry
Don’t raise your eye
It’s only teenage wasteland

Don’t have the latest suit, the long grass is my fruit
I am really ordinary man
The family is free to do just as they please
And we all sleep together in the caravan

Hey you, don’t walk on the turnips
My lord, when will they ever learn it, ooh
Look there, nations of travelling children
Nowhere 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
And my greed ain’t gonna spoil their part
This life just has to be a new one
I’m gonna tan underneath a new sun

Sally, take my hand
We’ll travel south crossland
Put out the fire
And don’t look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let’s get together
Before we get much 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

    A truly urban grunge image. I love the graffetti, although i guess many wouldn’t if you live close by.
