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
