Baba O'Riley -- Who

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.

Don't cry  don't raise your eye  it's only teenage wasteland
Sally, take my hand  we'll travel south cross land  out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder.  The exodus is here  he happy ones are near
let's get together  Before we get much older. 

teenage wasteland  It's only teenage wasteland.  Teenage wasteland
Oh, yeah  Its only teenage wasteland  They're all wasted                 (sing365)

The first part of the title comes from Meher Baba, who was Pete Townshend's spiritual guru. The second part comes from Terry Riley, an experimental, minimalist composer Townshend admired - many of the keyboard riffs and sound effects on Who's Next were a result of Riley's influence.  Townshend wrote it as his vision of what would happen if the spirit of Meher Baba was fed into a computer and transformed into music. The result would be Baba in the style of Terry Riley, or "Baba O'Riley."                        (songfacts)

Meher Baba (February 25, 1894 – January 31, 1969), born Merwan Sheriar Irani, was an Indianmystic and spiritual master who declared publicly in 1954 that he was the Avatar of the age.

Merwan Sheriar Irani was born in 1894 and led a normal childhood, showing no particularly strong inclination toward spiritual matters. At the age of 19, a brief contact with the Muslim holy woman Hazrat Babajan began his seven-year process of spiritual transformation. Over the next months, he contacted four additional spiritual figures whom, along with Babajan, he called "the five Perfect Masters." He spent seven years with Upasni Maharaj, one of the masters, before beginning his public work. The name Meher Baba means "Compassionate Father" inPersian and was given to him by his first followers.

From 10 July 1925 to the end of his life, Meher Baba maintained silence, communicating by means of an alphabet board or by unique hand gestures. With his mandali , he spent long periods in seclusion, during which time he often fasted. He also traveled widely, held public gatherings, and engaged in works of charity with lepers, the poor, and the mentally ill.

In 1931, Meher Baba made the first of many visits to the West, where he attracted many followers. Throughout most of the 1940s, Meher Baba worked with a category of spiritual aspirant called masts, whom he said are entranced or spellbound by internal spiritual experiences. Starting in 1949, along with selected mandali, he traveled incognito about India in what he called "The New Life." On 10 February 1954, Meher Baba declared that he was the Avatar (an incarnation of God), 

After being injured as a passenger in two automobile accidents, one in the United States in 1952 and one in India in 1956, his ability to walk became severely limited. In 1962, he invited his Western followers to India for a mass darshan called "The East-West Gathering."Concerned by an increasing use of LSD and other psychedelic drugs,in 1966 Baba stated that they did not convey real benefits.Despite deteriorating health, he continued what he called his "Universal Work," which included fasting and seclusion, until his death on 31 January 1969.                          ^(wikipedia)
