The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
I can't afford you Baltimore
Got a prostitute that pays my rent
Bringing back a doughnut bag
With the business that your mama sent
We're so young, baby
We're so young
I stole the fruit from your family tree
I stole the fruit from your family tree
Then I went and saw the family biz
Now everybody's lookin' at me
We're so young, baby
We're so young
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
I left the south with a bible mouth
And my drawl, it makes it easy to shake it
Joking tips, loco lips
It'd to right by you to take it
We're so young, baby
We're so young
And would you make that baby wait?
And would you make that baby wait?
Got game, curse the air
And ya can't get ahead of ladies
We're so young, baby
We're so young
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Got a prostitute that pays my rent
Bringing back a doughnut bag
With the business that your mama sent
We're so young, baby
We're so young
I stole the fruit from your family tree
I stole the fruit from your family tree
Then I went and saw the family biz
Now everybody's lookin' at me
We're so young, baby
We're so young
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
I left the south with a bible mouth
And my drawl, it makes it easy to shake it
Joking tips, loco lips
It'd to right by you to take it
We're so young, baby
We're so young
And would you make that baby wait?
And would you make that baby wait?
Got game, curse the air
And ya can't get ahead of ladies
We're so young, baby
We're so young
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old
Don't get old, mama, young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered you're through
Don't get old, mama, don't get old

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
