Lyrics

Baba O'Riley

Out here in the fields

I plowed 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

Don't cry

Don't raise your eye

It's only teenage wasteland

Sally, take my hand

We'll travel south across 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

It's only teenage wasteland

Teenage wasteland

Oh yeah

Teenage wasteland

They're all wasted!
