[00:27.00] |
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 |
