Time will take your hand,
Time will make you a man,
Time will kill yer dead,
And give you reason for living.)

So she asked,
And you said please,
She brought you right down to your knees.
Your momma said this day'd happen,
But you're still only 16.
So you sit around and drink a lot,
Its literally gone to pot.
But you're still young it doesn't matter,
You're giving it all you got.

Wading through the wasteland,
Tryin' to find a way to go,
You're still living in a teenage wasteland of your own.
They'll try to stop you,
Try to tell you where to roam,
Please don't listen, it's a teenage wasteland of your own.

Love grips your impressionable young heart,
You think you've got it sussed out from the start.
But when it finally doesn't happen,
You begin to fall apart.
So we're all drunk who've lost the plot,
We sit around and drink a lot.
But We're still young it doesn't matter,
We're giving all that we've got.

Wading through the wasteland,
Tryin' to find a way to go,
We're all living in a teenage wasteland of our own.
They'll try to stop you,
Try to tell you where to roam,
But we won't listen, it's a teenage wasteland of our own.
