You chase in the rat-race And you always feel so hollow You marry because it´s expected of you And it only makes you feel more lonely
But still you look down on the teenage dad on On his estate He´s happy so leave him alone With his baby And his modest home He´s happy so leave him alone With his Jensen Interceptor It´s just a runaround
You defer to the views of the television news Let someone do your thinking for you And you still buy a daily newspaper And you find everything there but the news
And still you look down on the teenage dad on On his estate He´s happy so leave him alone With his baby
And his modest home He´s happy so leave him alone With his Jensen Interceptor It´s just a runaround
You become your parents´ parent And you love them But you can´t help feeling used And you hate the teenage dad on his estate Because he´s poor but he´s happier than you They´re all laughing at you You´re a dipper, a slider, cart-horse provider Nobody cares about you Just as long as you´re out there bringing it in Despising the grin on the face of the boy With the methadone With his methadone He´s happy so leave him alone
