Testo Young Americans - Lea DeLaria
Testo della canzone Young Americans (Lea DeLaria), tratta dall'album House of David
They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
"Well gee, my life's a funny thing, am I too young?"
He kissed her then and there, she took his ring
Took his babies, took him, and it's took her nowhere
But 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 night) She wants the young American
Scanning life through the picture windows
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
But 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 in like a song, she cries
"Where have all my papa's heroes gone?"
(All night) She wants the young American
(Young American, young American)
She wants the young American
(All night) She wants the young American
Do you remember President Nixon?
Do you remember the bills you have to pay?
Or even yesterday?
All the way from Washington
Her breadwinner begs off the bathroom floor
"We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for fifty more?
You ain't a pimp, you ain't a hustler
Pimp's got a Caddy, lady got a Chrysler
Black got respect, white got his soul train
Mama got cramps, and look at your handshake"
(All night) Ah, ah, all night
Ah, she wants the young American
(Young American, young American)
She wants the young American
(All night) She wants the young American
Girl knows what she wants
She knows what she wants
And she wants a little young American
Oh yeah, she's got the stars and stripes written in her eyes
That's right, she got a little cougar in her
Looking for that young American
Always wants the young ones
All night, all night, oh
I heard the news today, oh boy
She wants the young American
