Cure Young Americans Lyrics

Young Americans Lyrics

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, but

Chorus (he)

All night

She wants the young american

Young
american, young american, she wants the young american

All right

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

He misses a step and cuts his hand,
but

Showing nothing, he swoops like a song

She cries "where have
all papa's heroes gone?"



Chorus (she)

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?"



Chorus (he)

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 clinton?

Do you remember, bill, you have to pay

Or even
yesterday?



Have you have been an un-american?

Just you and
your idol singing 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-sheilas

Ain't that close
to love?

Well, ain't that poster love?

Well, it ain't that barbie
doll

Her heart's been broken just like you have



Chorus
(you)
