Karaoké Young Americans David Bowie

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

All night

She wants the young American

Young American young American she wants the young American

All right

But she wants the young American

Scanning life through the picture window she finds the slinky vagabond

He coughs as he passes her Ford

Mustang but

Heaven forbid she'll take anything

But the freak and his type all for nothing

He misses a step and cuts his hand but

Showing nothing he swoops like a song

She cries where have all papa's heroes gone?

All night

She wants the young American

Young American young American

Yeah huh huh she wants the young American

All right

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

All night he wants the young American

Young American young American so come on mmm mmm mmm he wants the young American

All right

All right 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 been the un-American? just you and your idol sing falsetto

'Bout 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 a bus of survivors

Blushing at all the afro-Sheeners

Ain't that close to love? well ain't that poster love? well it ain't that Barbie doll

Her hearts have been broken just like you and

All night

All night you want the young American

Young American young American

All night long oh the other day all right you want the young American

All right you want the young American

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler

Young American young American a pimp's got a Cadi and you want the young American

A lady got a Chrysler black's got respect and

All right white's got his soul train

Mama's got cramps and look at your hands ache

I heard the news today oh boy

I got a suite and you got defeat

Ain't there a man who can say no more and? all night

Ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw and?

Ain't there a child I can hold without judging and?

Young American young American ain't there a pen that you want the young American

Will write before they die? ain't you proud that

All right you've still got faces?

Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry?

All night

All night

I want the young American

Young American young American a young young young l want the young American

Oh oh oh oh oh

I want the young American

All right young American

Young American young American

I want what you want

I want what you want l want the young American

All night you want for me I want you

You want I

I want you want

I want what you want

Young American young American

But you want what you want you want you want babe l want the young American

All right

And all I want is a young American young American

Young American young American

Young American l want the young American

All right
