Morrissey Teenage Dad On His Estate Lyrics

Teenage Dad On His Estate Lyrics

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, ah, with his methadone

He's happy, so leave him alone, ah with his methadone

He's happy, so leave him alone
