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
 
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 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
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
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
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!
