The Who - Baba O Riley

Tonight, or rather this night considering the hour, we talk about a primary need that all of us humans share, which is often difficult to achieve, and that we hope to fulfill by escaping to a deserted island, and that is happiness.

In this piece, one of those to bring right onto a deserted island, it speaks of a boy who had to "make it on his own," who had to work to survive and who "doesn't need to fight to prove he is right, nor to be forgiven," and who in the end, along with his girlfriend Sally, will travel to reach "the happy ones," those who are happy.

"Out here in the fields
I've fought for my meals
I've worked my ass off to survive

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 eyes
It's just teenage desolation

Sally, take my hand
We'll travel through the southern lands
Put out the fire
And don't watch my back.

The exodus is here
The happy people are near
Let's all come together
Before we get too old

Teenage desolation
It's just teenage desolation.
Teenage desolation
Oh, yeah
It's just teenage desolation.
They're all lost!"
