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 to ken
Anything, but
She wa nis

The young Ame rican
But she wants

The young Ame rican
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, bu1
Showing noihing,
He swoops

Like a song, she cries
Where have all pa pa's
Heroes gone
She wants
The young American

Yea h, yea h
Alrig hi
But she wants

The young Ame rican
All the way from
Washington

Her breadwinner begs

Off the bath room floor
We live for iust 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
AI rig hf

But he wanis
The young American

Do you remember
Your president Nixon
Do you re member

The bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday

Un-Americon
Just you and your idol
Singin' falsefto abouf
Leather, leather
Eve rywhere, a nd

Not a myih leH
From the gheifo
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 of a
The afro-sheenas
Well, it ain't that
Barbie do

Her heart's been broken
Just like you and
All night ya want

The young American
