How the hell did this masterpiece not make it onto Young Americans? Side one of this album is stronger than side two, mainly because of Across the Universe, a completely redundant cover version. This gorgeous song would have balanced the album out and should have been the closer.
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 She wants a 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 Misses a step and cuts his hand, but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song She cries, "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?" She wants a young American (Young American, young American, she wants the young American) (All right) Well 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?" He wants the young American (Young American, young American, he wants the young American) (All right) all right Well he wants the young American Do you remember, your President Nixon? Do you remember, the bills you have to pay? Or even yesterday? Have you 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 heart's have been broken just like you and All night you want the young American (Young American, young American, 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 a lady got a Chrysler (you want the young American) Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train (all right) 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 want the young American) Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? (All right) Ain't there one damn song that can make me Break down and cry? 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) I want what you want, I want what you want (All night) You want I, I want you, I (Young American, young American, I want the young American) (All right) And all I want is the young American (Young American, young American, I want the young American) Source: LyricFind Songwriters: David Bowie
I saw this show four times. On my B-day June 12 in Indianapolis and all three shows in Detroit. Great video effects with the large screen. I worked for ASCAP got to meet David. We talked about art and Elvis. David was a big art collector and born on Elvis's birthday Jan 8 1947.
An amazing song indeed. The studio version wasn't available until the Rykodisc extended version of Young Americans was out in 1990. Pity that David's voice was so affected by coke though on the oh-so-famous Diamond Dogs-Soul Tour of 1974. cttcaegoaktd 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛
