Restless Youth (Clean Album Version)

Restless Youth (Clean Album Version) - Ian Hunter

He's much the same as anyone

He don't do what he's told

He got hostile on his school report

And he leaves his mother cold

His father owned a bakery

One day they found him hanged

It ain't good to be free in Little Italy

His son's the leader of the gang

He soon found out he could not work

The money was no good

This child of the city hit the welfare kitty

Did some runnin' for the hoods

And the logic of the street was such

That everything was bent

There's a lot of white collars

Stealing government dollars

Wouldn't notice

Such a little percent

Now I went to his graduation

In some Brooklyn overnight jail

He said he was a member of the rock'n roll nation

But his face was drawn 'n pale

They gave him a suspended sentence

'N he got straight on the phone

Called a big

Big

Man with a Miami tan 'n said

Hi I'm Al Capone

The 2nd Restless Youth

Now his first hit came at seventeen

His second was his last

Some dealer ran screaming from the scene

As the bullets whistled past

'N the cop that killed him shook his head

And said I swear the truth

When I know it was some old

Old man 'n not a restless youth

The man is

RESTLESS YOUTH

Now the moral of this story is

That all he saw was greed

Legal

Illegalities 'n all them politician thieves

Good people of the USA

If you want your kids to grow

Then check your harvest carefully

Don't reap; before you sow
