《Young Americans(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:27] They pulled in just behind the fridge,

[00:00:29] He lays he down, he frowns

[00:00:32] Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?

[00:00:37] He kissed her then and there,

[00:00:40] She took his ring, took his babies

[00:00:43] It took him minutes, took her no-where

[00:00:47] Heaven knows, she'd've taken anything, but{Chorus, *she* version}

[00:00:52] *She* wants the young American

[00:01:04] But *she* wants the young American

[00:01:07] Scanning life through the picture window,

[00:01:09] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:01:11] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:01:15] Heaven forbid, she take anything

[00:01:18] But the freak, and his type, all for nothing,

[00:01:20] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:01:22] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:01:23] She cries Where have all Papas' heroes gone? {chorus, *she* version}

[00:01:32] *She* wants the young American

[00:01:43] But *she* wants the young American

[00:01:47] All the way from Washington,

[00:01:48] Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor

[00:01:52] We live for just these twenty years,

[00:01:54] Do we have to die for the fifty more? , had{chorus, *he* version}

[00:02:00] *He* wants the young American

[00:02:12] But *He* wants the young American

[00:02:26] Do you remember

[00:02:29] Your President Nixon?

[00:02:30] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:02:34] The bills you have to pay,

[00:02:36] Or even yesterday?

[00:02:52] Have you have been an un-American?

[00:02:54] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:02:57] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:03:00] Not a myth left from the ghetto

[00:03:03] Well, well, well, would you carry a razor

[00:03:05] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:03:08] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:03:11] Blushing at all the afro-Sheila's

[00:03:14] Ain't that close to love?

[00:03:16] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:03:18] [Doo-doo-doo-woo

[00:03:23] Her heart's been broken just like you have{chorus, *you* version}

[00:03:30] *YOU* wants the young American

[00:03:42] But *YOU* wants the young American

[00:03:43] You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler

[00:03:45] A pimps' got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler

[00:03:48] Blacks got respect, uhh, whites got his soul train

[00:03:51] Mamas' got cramps, and look at your hands ache

[00:03:58] I got a suite and you got defeat

[00:03:59] Ain't there a man you can say no more?, and

[00:04:03] Ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?, and

[00:04:05] Ain't there a child I can hold without judging?

[00:04:08] Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?

[00:04:11] Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?

[00:04:13] Ain't there one damn song that can make me

[00:04:17] Break down and cry?{chorus, *I* version}

[00:04:25] *I* wants the young American

[00:04:38] But *I* wants the young American

[00:04:49] *I* wants the young American

[00:05:00] But *I* wants the young American
