[00:27.290] They pulled in just behind the fridge,
[00:29.790] he lays he down, he frowns
[00:32.670] Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?
[00:38.790] He kissed her then and there,
[00:40.730] she took his ring, took his babies
[00:43.540]
[00:44.200] It took him minutes, took her no-where
[00:47.230] Heaven knows, she'd've taken anything
[00:53.540] She wants the young American
[00:56.040]
[01:04.920] but she wants the young American
[01:07.420] Scanning life through the picture window,
[01:10.110] she finds the slinky vagabond
[01:12.360] He coughs as he passes up her red Mustang, but
[01:16.170] Heaven forbid, she take anything
[01:18.730] But the freak, and his type, all for nothing,
[01:21.610] misses a step and cuts his hand. But
[01:24.100] showing nothing, he swoops like a song
[01:26.870] She cries Where have all Papas' heroes gone She wants the young American
[01:44.770] she wants the young American All the way from Washington,
[01:49.770] her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
[01:53.040] We live for just these twenty years,
[01:55.390] do we have to die for the fifty more?, had
[01:58.950]
[02:02.260] He wants the young American
[02:04.490]
[02:13.430] but He wants the young American
[02:27.930] Do you remember
[02:30.310] your President Nixon?
[02:33.320] Do you remember
[02:35.450] the bills you have to pay,
[02:37.880] or even yesterday?
[02:38.320]
[02:53.590] Have you have been an un-American?
[02:56.150] Just you and your idol singing falsetto
[02:58.750] 'bout leather, leather everywhere, and
[03:01.850] not a myth left from the ghetto
[03:04.470] Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
[03:06.850] in case, just in case of depression?
[03:08.980]
[03:10.450] Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors,
[03:12.950] blushing at all the afro-Sheila's
[03:15.760] Ain't that close to love?
[03:18.010] Well, ain't that poster love?
[03:21.070] Well, it ain't that Barbie doll,
[03:24.040] her heart's been broken just like you have
[03:27.480]
[03:31.620] YOU wants the young American
[03:41.420]
[03:42.120] YOU wants the young American
[03:44.430] You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
[03:46.870] A pimps' got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
[03:49.680] Blacks got respect, uhh, whites got his soul train
[03:52.500] Mamas' got cramps, and look at your hands ache
[03:56.660]
[03:58.790] I got a suite and you got defeat
[04:01.220] Ain't there a man you can say no more?, and
[04:03.970] Ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw, and
[04:06.970] Ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
[04:09.530] Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
[04:12.600] Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
[04:15.100] Ain't there one damn song that can make me
[04:18.540] break down and cry?
[04:26.310]
[04:27.620] wants the I young American
[04:29.290]
[04:38.230] but I wants the young American
