Song 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

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!

Dude, go easy on the smiley's. This song is alright, I like it the way it is edited for CSI:NY better, but the full version will grow on me and I will like it like I like every other who song

one of the who's best and probably one of the best rock anthems i've heard, although it's very annoying when people insist that it's called "teenage wasteland"

This is by far one of the best Who songs, everyone who either dosent like the begining or end cant really appreciate the songs uniqueness, I also agree with what was said about the who not just being from CSI, they got their start back in i think 1966 so dont think they just write theme songs for todays TV.

Yankees suck!! you did ask for that
anyhow, Baba O'Riley is one of the best Who songs. If only more people would listen to the line. I don't need to fight, to prove I'm right I'm sure the world would be a better place.
I think everyone should travel south and see the shocking poverty that africa, south america and asia live in. It is teenager wasteland down there because very few live past that.
That being said are the "developed" countries giving teenagers a fair go? At least where I come from they're not (Australia btw). Every news it has how drunken teenage hooligans did this, or how teenage hoons were caught speeding. We're wasting away with our drugs, booze and fast food and we're happily dancing to the tune to those with the best add.
Teenage wasteland is here my friends

P.S. this song kicks arse

Great satire, dipshit, go become a writer and grow some pubes...

This song's amazing, from the beginning until the end. It's a great example of melodic rock and oh, how it proves once again that modern music sucks ass...

Shoombaba!
It knocks the gates of the soul and begs entrance with a multitude of repetitive and altering electronic taps. Welcomed by the messages of freedom, one can see how the corporate schmucks of the Ba'hck Heimer have reduced the song's capacity to the obnoxious noise Hilary Duff spawns from her buttocks.

To all the Schmucks up there (You know who you are): Go listen to Corporate Noise! Leave Classic Rock alone forever.

By the By, Bargain is a bit better than Baba.

screw CSI, the song doesn't have anyhting to do with the show. The song was originally about Vietnam and the kids that were sent to fight. There are plenty of other Who songs that would have worked better than this one
