They pulled in
Just behind the bridge
He lays her down
He frowns
Gee my life's
A funny thing
Am I still too young
He kissed her
Then and there
She took his ring
Took his babies
It took him minutes
Took her nowhere
Heaven knows
She'd have taken
Anything but
She wants
The young American
But she wants
The young American
Scanning life through
The picture window
She finds
A slinky vaga bond
He coughs
As he passes up
Her red mustang
Heaven forbid
She'd take anything
But the freak
And his type
All for nothing
Misses a step and
Cuts his hand but
Showing nothing
He swoops
Like a song she cries
Where have all papa's
Heroes gone
She wants
The young American
Yeah yeah
Alright
But she wants
The young American
All the way from
Washington
Her breadwinner begs
Off the bathroom floor
We live for just these
Twenty years
Do we have to die
For the fifty more and
All night
He wants
The young American
Yes he does
Mm hmm hmm eh
Alright
But he wants
The young American
Do you remember
Your president Nixon
Do you remember
The bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday
Have you been an
Un-American
Just you and your idol
Sing in' falsetto about
Leather leather
Everywhere and
Not a myth left
From the ghetto
Well well well
Would you carry a razor
In case
Just in case
Of depression
Sit on your hands
On the bus of survivors
Blushing at all
The afro-sheenas
Ain't that close to love
Well ain't that
Poster love
Well it ain't that
Barbie doll
Her heart's been broken
Just like you and
All night ya want
The young American
Young American
Alright
Alright
You want the
Young American
You ain't a pimp and
You ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a caddy
And a lady
Got a Chrysler
Blacks got respect uh
Whites got his Soul Train
Mama's got cramps and
Look at your hands ache
I got a suite and
You got defeat
Ain't there a man
Who can say no more
And
Ain't there a woman
I can sock on the jaw
And
Ain't there a child
I can hold without
Judging and
Ain't there a pen
That will write
Before they die
Ain't you proud that
You still got faces
Ain't there
One **** song
That can make me
Break down and cry
All night
I want the
Young American
Young American
Alright
I want the
Young American
Young American
I want what you want
I want what you want
You want what I
I want you you want I
I want you want
I want what you want
Do you want
What I want too
You want I
I want you
And all I want is the
Young American
The young American
Young American
Mm hmm
