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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south 'cross land
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
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland, oh, yeah
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted

jgm4661:

sorry dude, people like you irritate me to no end. If the songwriter himself says "it's aabout vietnam", then there's a pretty good bet it's about vietnam. I can't stand people who "know" what the songwriter meant better than the songwriter.

and you need to look into history a bit. prior to the US being involved in southeast asia, france had occupied it. I'm sure the british had some involvement in that area whether officially or unofficially and could have predicted that a "police action" would not accomplish much.

other than a "teenage wasteland" drug out over far too many years.
