What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
They pulled in just behind the fridge
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
Chorus (he)
9
All night
10
She wants the young American
11
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
12
All right
13
She wants the young American
14
Scanning life through the picture window
15
She finds the slinky vagabond
16
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but
17
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
18
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
19
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
20
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
21
She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?"
22
Chorus (she)
23
All the way from Washington
24
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
25
"We live for just these twenty years
26
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"
27
Chorus (he)
28
All night
29
He wants the young American
30
Young American, young American, he wants the young American
31
All right
32
He wants the young American
33
Do you remember, your President Clinton?
34
Do you remember, Bill, you have to pay
35
Or even yesterday?
36
Have you have been an un-American?
37
Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
38
Leather, leather everywhere, and
39
Not a myth left from the ghetto
40
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
41
In case, just in case of depression?
42
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
43
Blushing at all the afro-Sheilas
44
Ain't that close to love?
45
Well, ain't that poster love?
46
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
47
Her heart's been broken just like you have
48
Chorus (you)
49
All night
50
You want the young American
51
Young American, young American, you want the young American
52
All right
53
You want the young American
54
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
55
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
56
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
57
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
58
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
59
I got a suite and you got defeat
60
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
61
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
62
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
63
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
64
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
65
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
66
Break down and cry?
67
Chorus (i) (repeat 3 times)
68
All night
69
I want the young American
70
Young American, young American, I want the young American
71
All right
72
I want the young American
