Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don`t need to fight
To prove I`m right
I don`t need to be forgiven
Yeah yeah....

Don`t cry
Don`t raise your eye
It`s only teenage wasteland
Sally, take my hand
We`ll travel south crossland
Put out the fire and don`t look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let`s get together before we get much older

=============================================================
Kevin Cherry`s note on synthesizer arrangement:
Starts out on a synth, but using two guitars:
Guitar 1:
Finger
e x
B x
G 10
D 10
A 8
E x
Pick quickly A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D-A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D (all sixteenth notes) over and
over
(Technically, this is until the end of the song, when the violin comes in.)
Guitar 2:
Finger:
e 13
B 13
G 10
D x
A x
E x
Pick quickly G-G-B-B-e (The G and B strings are played as sixteenth, the e
is picked as an eighth)
