Lyrics Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend

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 land just has to be a new one

I'm gonna tan underneath the 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 learn it

Look there nations of traveling 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

My greed ain't gonna spoil their part

This land just has to be a new one

I'm gonna tan underneath the new sun

Sally take my hand

Travel south cross land

Put out the fire

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!
