teenage dad on his estate

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

with his methadone

he's happy so leave him alone
