C Dm F G
[Verse]
CThey pulled in just behind the bridge he Dmlays her down, he frowns
FGee my life's a funny thing, am GI still too young?
CHe kissed her then and there she took his Dmring, took his babies
It Ftook him minutes, took her nowhere, GHeaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
[Chorus]
FAll Gnight, she wants the young American
CYoung American, young ADmmerican, she wants the young American
FAll Gnight, she wants the young American
[Verse]
CScanning life through the picture window She Dmfinds the slinky vagabond
He Fcoughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but GHeaven forbid, she'll take anything
CBut the freak, and his type, all for nothing, he Dmmisses a step and cuts his hand, but
FShowing nothing, he swoops like a song she cries "GWhere have all Papa's heroes gone?"
[Chorus]
FAll Gnight, she wants the young American
CYoung American, young ADmmerican, she wants the young American
FAll Gright, she wants the young American
[Verse]
CAll the way from Washington her Dmbread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
We Flive for just these twenty years do we Ghave to die for the fifty more?
[Chorus]
FAll Gnight he wants the young American
CYoung American, young ADmmerican, he wants the young American
FAll Gright he wants the young American

[Verse]
DHave you have been an un-American? Just Emyou and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
GLeather, leather everywhere, and Anot a myth left from the ghetto
DWell, well, well, would you carry a razor Emin a case, just in case of depression?
GSit on your hands on a bus of survivors Ablushing at all the afro-Sheeners
DAin't that close to love? Well, Emain't that poster love?
GWell, it ain't that Barbie doll her heart's been broken Ajust like you have
[Chorus]
GAll Anight you want the young American
DYoung American, young AEmmerican, you want the young American
GAll Aright you want the young American
[Verse]
DYou ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler, a Empimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
GBlack's got respect, and white's got his soul train AMama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
DI heard the news today, oh Emboy I got a suite and you got defeat
GAin't there a man you can say no more? And, Aain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
And, Dain't there a child I can hold without judging? EmAin't there a pen that will write before they die?
GAin't you proud that you've still got faces? AAin't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry?
[Chorus]
GAll Anight I want the young American
DYoung American, young AEmmerican, I want the young American
GAll Aright I want the young American, Young AmeriDcan
Young American, Young AEmmerican, I want the young American
GAll Anight You want I, I want you want
DYoung American, Young AEmmerican, I want the young American
GAll Anight All I want is the Young American
DYoung American, Young AEmmerican, I want the young American
GAll Anight
