What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
They pulled in just behind the bridge
2
He lays her down, he frowns
3
"Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?"
4
He kissed her then and there
5
She took his ring, took his babies
6
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
7
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
8
All night
9
She wants the young American
10
Young American, young American
11
She wants the young American
12
All right
13
She wants the young American
14
All the way from Washington
15
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
16
"We live for just these twenty years
17
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"
18
All night
19
He wants the young American
20
Young American, young American
21
He wants the young American
22
All right
23
Well, he wants the young American
24
Do you remember, your President Nixon?
25
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
26
Or even yesterday?
27
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
28
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady's got a Chrysler
29
Black's got respect, and White's got his soul train
30
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands shake
31
I got a suite and you got defeat
32
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
33
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
34
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
35
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
36
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
37
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
38
Break down and cry?
39
All night
40
I want the young American
41
Young American, young American
42
I want the young American
43
All right
44
I want the young American, young American
45
Young American, young American
46
I want the young American
47
All right
