| [00:27.290] |
They pulled in just behind the fridge, |
| [00:29.790] |
he lays he down, he frowns |
| [00:32.670] |
Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young? |
| [00:38.790] |
He kissed her then and there, |
| [00:40.730] |
she took his ring, took his babies |
| [00:43.540] |
|
| [00:44.200] |
It took him minutes, took her no-where |
| [00:47.230] |
Heaven knows, she'd've taken anything |
| [00:53.540] |
She wants the young American |
| [00:56.040] |
|
| [01:04.920] |
but she wants the young American |
| [01:07.420] |
Scanning life through the picture window, |
| [01:10.110] |
she finds the slinky vagabond |
| [01:12.360] |
He coughs as he passes up her red Mustang, but |
| [01:16.170] |
Heaven forbid, she take anything |
| [01:18.730] |
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing, |
| [01:21.610] |
misses a step and cuts his hand. But |
| [01:24.100] |
showing nothing, he swoops like a song |
| [01:26.870] |
She cries Where have all Papas' heroes gone She wants the young American |
| [01:44.770] |
she wants the young American All the way from Washington, |
| [01:49.770] |
her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor |
| [01:53.040] |
We live for just these twenty years, |
| [01:55.390] |
do we have to die for the fifty more?, had |
| [01:58.950] |
|
| [02:02.260] |
He wants the young American |
| [02:04.490] |
|
| [02:13.430] |
but He wants the young American |
| [02:27.930] |
Do you remember |
| [02:30.310] |
your President Nixon? |
| [02:33.320] |
Do you remember |
| [02:35.450] |
the bills you have to pay, |
| [02:37.880] |
or even yesterday? |
| [02:38.320] |
|
| [02:53.590] |
Have you have been an un-American? |
| [02:56.150] |
Just you and your idol singing falsetto |
| [02:58.750] |
'bout leather, leather everywhere, and |
| [03:01.850] |
not a myth left from the ghetto |
| [03:04.470] |
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor |
| [03:06.850] |
in case, just in case of depression? |
| [03:08.980] |
|
| [03:10.450] |
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors, |
| [03:12.950] |
blushing at all the afro-Sheila's |
| [03:15.760] |
Ain't that close to love? |
| [03:18.010] |
Well, ain't that poster love? |
| [03:21.070] |
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll, |
| [03:24.040] |
her heart's been broken just like you have |
| [03:27.480] |
|
| [03:31.620] |
YOU wants the young American |
| [03:41.420] |
|
| [03:42.120] |
YOU wants the young American |
| [03:44.430] |
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler |
| [03:46.870] |
A pimps' got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler |
| [03:49.680] |
Blacks got respect, uhh, whites got his soul train |
| [03:52.500] |
Mamas' got cramps, and look at your hands ache |
| [03:56.660] |
|
| [03:58.790] |
I got a suite and you got defeat |
| [04:01.220] |
Ain't there a man you can say no more?, and |
| [04:03.970] |
Ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw, and |
| [04:06.970] |
Ain't there a child I can hold without judging? |
| [04:09.530] |
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? |
| [04:12.600] |
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? |
| [04:15.100] |
Ain't there one damn song that can make me |
| [04:18.540] |
break down and cry? |
| [04:26.310] |
|
| [04:27.620] |
