Young Americans
4
They pulled in just behind the fridge
5
He lays her down, he frowns
6
"Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?"
7
He kissed her then and there
8
She took his ring, took his babies
9
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
10
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
11
All night
12
She wants the young American
13
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
14
All right
15
She wants the young American
16
Scanning life through the picture windows
17
She finds the slinky vagabond
18
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but
19
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
20
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
21
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
22
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
23
She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?"
24
All night
25
She wants the young American
26
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
27
All right
28
She wants the young American
29
All the way from Washington
30
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
31
"We live for just these twenty years
32
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"
33
All night
34
He wants the young American
35
Young American, young American, he wants the young American
36
All right
37
He wants the young American
38
Do you remember, your President Nixon?
39
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
40
Or even yesterday
41
Have you been an un-American?
42
Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
43
Leather, leather everywhere, and
44
Not a myth left from the ghetto
45
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
46
In case, just in case of depression
47
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
48
Blushing at all the afro-Sheilas
49
Ain't that close to love?
50
Well, ain't that poster love?
51
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
52
Her heart's been broken just like you have
53
And
54
All night
55
You want the young American
56
Young American, young American, you want the young American
57
All right
58
You want the young American
59
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
60
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
61
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
62
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
63
I heard the news today, oh boy
64
I got a suite and you got defeat
65
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
66
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
67
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
68
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
69
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
70
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
71
break down and cry?
72
All night
73
I want the young American
74
Young American, young American, I want the young American
75
All right
76
I want the young American
77
Young American
78
Young American, young American, I want the young American
79
(I want with you, I want with you want)
80
All right
81
(You want it, I want you you, you want I, I want you want)
82
Young American, young American, I want the young American (I want to want, to want, to want , to want I, I want you)
83
All right
84
(Lord I wanted the young american)
85
(young american)
86
Young American, Young American
87
I want the young American
88
