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 ahh 
With his methadone 
He's happy - so leave him alone ahh
With his methadone  
He's happy - so leave him alone
