Testo Modern Love - David Bowie
Testo della canzone Modern Love (David Bowie), tratta dall'album Adventureland
They pulled in just behind the fridge
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
(All night)
She wants the young American
(Young American, young American)
(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 20 years
Do we have to die for the 50 more?"
(All night)
He was the young American
(Young American, young American)
(He was the young American)
(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?
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler (young American, young American)
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler (you're the young American)
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train (all night)
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? (All night)
And ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging? (Young American, young American)
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? (You're the young American)
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? (All night)
Ain't 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 right
I want the young American, young American
(Young American, young American)
(I want the young American)
(All night)
You want I, I want you one
I want you
