Young Americans (1998 Remastered Version)
They pulled in just behind the fridge,
he lays he down, he frowns
Gee my lifes 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 no-where
Heaven knows, shedve taken anything
All night
She wants the young American
Young American
Young American
She was a young American
All night
But she wants the young American
All the way from Washington
Her bread winner begs off the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more
All night
He wants the young American
Young American young American
He was a young American
All night
He was a young American
Do you remember your President Nixon
Do you remember the bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday
You aint a pimp and you aint a hustler
A pimps got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Blacks got respect and Whites got his soul train
Mamas got cramps and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today oh boy
I got a suite and you got defeat
Aint there a man you can say no more
And aint there a woman I can sock on the jaw
And aint there a child I can hold without judging
Aint there a pen that will write before they die
Aint you proud that youve still got faces
Aint there one damn song that can make me
Break down and cry
All night
I want the young American
Young American young American
I want the young American
All night
I want the young American young American
Young American young American
I want the young American
All night
You want I I want you
