They pulled in just behind the fridge, |
| [00:29.00] |
he lays he down, he frowns |
| [00:32.00] |
"Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?" |
| [00:37.00] |
He kissed her then and there, |
| [00:40.00] |
she took his ring, took his babies |
| [00:43.00] |
It took him minutes, took her no-where |
| [00:47.00] |
Heaven knows, she'd've taken anything, but |
| [01:29.00][00:49.00][All night] |
|
| [01:32.00][00:52.00] |
*She* wants the young American |
| [01:35.00][00:55.00][Young American, young American, *she* wants the young American] |
|
| [01:40.00][01:00.00][All right] |
|
| [01:43.00][01:04.00] |
but *she* wants the young American |
| [01:07.00] |
Scanning life through the picture window, |
| [01:09.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
she finds the slinky vagabond |
| [01:11.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
He coughs as he passes up her red Mustang, but |
| [01:15.00] |
Heaven forbid, she take anything |
| [01:18.00] |
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing, |
| [01:20.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
misses a step and cuts his hand. But |
| [01:22.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
showing nothing, he swoops like a song |
| [01:23.00] |
She cries "Where have all Papas' heroes gone?" |
| [01:47.00] |
All the way from Washington, |
| [01:48.00] |
her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor |
| [01:52.00] |
"We live for just these twenty years, |
| [01:54.00] |
do we have to die for the fifty more?", had |
| [01:57.00][All night] |
|
| [02:00.00] |
*He* wants the young American |
| [02:03.00][Young American, young American, *He* wants the young American] |
|
| [02:08.00][All right] |
|
| [02:12.00] |
but *He* wants the young American |
| [02:26.00] |
Do you remember |
| [02:29.00] |
your President Nixon? |
| [02:30.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
Do you remember |
| [02:34.00] |
the bills you have to pay, |
| [02:36.00] |
or even yesterday? |
| [02:52.00] |
Have you have been an un-American? |
| [02:54.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
Just you and your idol singing falsetto |
| [02:57.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
'bout leather, leather everywhere, and |
| [03:00.00] |
not a myth left from the ghetto |
| [03:03.00] |
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor |
| [03:05.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
in case, just in case of depression? |
| [03:08.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors, |
| [03:11.00] |
blushing at all the afro-Sheila's |
| [03:14.00] |
Ain't that close to love? |
| [03:16.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
Well, ain't that poster love? |
| [03:18.00][Doo-doo-doo-woo] |
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll, |
| [03:23.00] |
her heart's been broken just like you have |
| [03:27.00][All night] |
|
| [03:30.00] |
*YOU* wants the young American |
| [03:32.00][Young American, young American, *YOU* wants the young American] |
|
| [03:37.00][All right] |
|
| [03:42.00] |
but *YOU* wants the young American |
| [03:43.00] |
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler |
| [03:45.00] |
A pimps' got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler |
| [03:48.00] |
Blacks got respect, uhh, whites got his soul train |
| [03:51.00] |
Mamas' got cramps, and look at your hands ache |
| [03:54.00][I heard the news today, oh boy] |
|
| [03:58.00] |
I got a suite and you got defeat |
| [03:59.00] |
Ain't there a man you can say no more?, and |
| [04:03.00] |
Ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?, and |
| [04:05.00] |
Ain't there a child I can hold without judging? |
| [04:08.00] |
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? |
| [04:11.00] |
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? |
| [04:13.00] |
Ain't there one damn song that can make me |
| [04:17.00] |
break down and cry? |
| [04:44.00][04:22.00][All night] |
|
| [04:49.00][04:25.00] |
*I* wants the young American |
| [04:51.00][04:28.00][Young American, young American, *I* wants the young American] |
|
| [04:55.00][04:35.00][All right] |
|
| [05:00.00][04:38.00] |
but *I* wants the young American |
