I don’t need to fight To prove I’m right I don’t need to be forgiven. 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 Its only teenage wasteland They’re all wasted! Anyone notice the similarities in “Best Song Ever“ by One Direction (1D)?!
