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

=============================================================
Kevin Cherry's note on synthesizer arrangement:

Starts out on a synth, but using two guitars: 
 
Guitar 1: 
 
Finger  
e  x 
B  x 
G 10 
D 10 
A   8  
E  x 
 
Pick quickly A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D-A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D (all sixteenth notes) over and
over  
(Technically, this is until the end of the song, when the violin comes in.)

 
Guitar 2: 
 
Finger: 
e  13 
B 13 
G 10 
D  x 
A  x 
E  x 
 
Pick quickly G-G-B-B-e (The G and B strings are played as sixteenth, the e
is picked as an eighth)
