This iconic anthem from The Who explores the disillusionment and existential crisis faced by the youth, particularly in a post-war era. The lyrics depict a struggle for survival and identity, with references to fighting for meals and proving oneself. The chorus describes a 'teenage wasteland', symbolic of the chaos and confusion of adolescence. However, there's also an underlying message of unity and resilience as it urges togetherness amidst adversity. The song title pays homage to Meher Baba and Terry Riley, influential figures in Pete Townshend's life who inspired his spiritual journey. #LifeStruggles #Adolescence 🎸🤘
Baba O'Riley
Lyrics
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
