Baba O'Reilly / Teenage Wasteland by the Who

Perhaps one of the greatest rock songs ever, Baba O'Riley broke new ground in rock music. Synthesizers were practically unheard of before the release of this song. Commonly called Teenage Wasteland as a reference to the song lyric, Baba O'Riley is one of the few rock hits that doesn't use the song name anywhere in the lyrics of the song.

Baba O'riley Lyrics and Video

The Lyrics to the The Who Song Often Called Teenage Wasteland

Baba O'Riley
by The Who
album: Who's Next(1971)

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 crossland
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, oh
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!
Baba O'Riley
