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....

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

Sally, take my hand 
We'll travel south crossland 
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
