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.

Don't cry,
Don't raise your eye,
It's only teenage wasteland.
Sally, take my hand,
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
It's only teenage wasteland.
They're all wasted!

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I had
To find you, I'd suffer anything
And be glad.
I'd pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life and I will
To win you, I'd stand naked, stoned, and stabbed.
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
Best I ever had.

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I got
To catch you, I'm gonna run
And never stop.
I'd pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad.
To find you, I'm gonna drown an unsung man.
I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
Best I ever had.

I sit looking 'round
I look at my face in the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing
Without you.
In life, one and one don't make two
One and one make one
And I'm looking for
That free ride to me
I'm looking for you
Looking for you.

Laying on my back in the newly mown grass
Rain's coming down but I know the clouds will pass
You bring me tea, say the babes are sleeping
Lay down beside me, love ain't for keeping

Black ash from the foundry hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed by the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting, the springs are seeping
Lay down my darling, love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me, love ain't for keeping

Lay down beside me, love ain't for keeping
Lay down my darling, love ain't for keeping
