Song | Restless Youth |
Artist | Ian Hunter |
Album | All-American Boy |
作词 : Hunter | |

He's much the same as anyone - he don't do what he's told | |
He got hostile on his school report - and he leaves his mother cold | |
His father owned a bakery - one day they found him hanged | |
It ain't good to be free in little italy - his son's the leader of the gang | |
Chorus | |
Restless youth - restless youth | |
Restless youth - restless youth | |
He soon found out he could not work - the money was no good | |
This child of the city hit the welfare kitty - did some runnin' for the hoods | |
And the logic of the street was such - that everything was bent | |
There's a lot of white collars - stealing government dollars - wouldn't notice | |
Such a little percent. | |
Chorus | |
Now i went to his graduation - in some brooklyn overnight jail | |
He said he was a member of the rock'n roll nation - but his face was drawn 'n pale | |
They gave him a suspended sentence - 'n he got straight on the phone | |
Called a big, big, man with a miami tan 'n said | |
"hi i'm al capone - the 2nd restless youth" | |
Chorus | |
Now his first hit came at seventeen - his second was his last | |
Some dealer ran screaming from the scene - as the bullets whistled past | |
'n the cop that killed him shook his head 'n said "i swear the truth | |
When i know it was some old, old man 'n not a restless youth." | |
Chorus | |
Now the moral of this story is that all he saw was greed | |
Legal, illegalities 'n all them politician thieves | |
Good people of the u.s.a. if you want your kids to grow | |
Then check your harvest carefully - don't reap; before you sow | |
Chorus |
