Young Americans (2007 Tony Visconti Mix, Single Edit) - 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

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

He wants the young American

Young American young American

He wants the young American

All right

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

A pimp's got a Caddy and a lady got a Chrysler

Black's got respect

And 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 ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw

And ain't there a child

I can hold without judging

And ain't there a pen

That will write before they die

Ain't you proud that you've still got faces

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)

I want what you want

I want what you want

You want I I want you

You want I I want you want
