Discount - Help Save The Youth Of America lyrics

Your rating:






[Originally by Billy Bragg]



Help save the youth of America

Help save them from themselves

Help save the sun-tanned surfer boys

And the Californian girls



When the lights go out in the rest of the World

What do our cousins say

They're playing in the sun and having fun, fun, fun

Till Daddy takes the gun away



From the Big Church to the Big River

And out to the Shining Sea

This is the Land of Opportunity

And there's a Monkey Trial on TV



A nation with their freezers full

Are dancing in their seats

While outside another nation

Is sleeping in the streets



Don't tell me the old, old story

Tell me the truth this time

Is the Man in the Mask or the Indian

An enemy or a friend of mine



Help save the youth of America

Help save the youth of the world

Help save the boys in uniform

Their mothers and their faithful girls



Listen to the voice of the soldier

Down in the killing zone

Talking about the cost of living

And the price of bringing him home



They're already shipping the body bags

Down by the Rio Grande

But you can fight for democracy at home

And not in some foreign land



And the fate of the great United States

Is entwined in the fate of us all

And the incident at Tschernobyl proves

The world we live in is very small



And the cities of Europe have burned before

And they may yet burn again

And if they do I hope you understand

That Washington will burn with them

Omaha will burn with them

Los Alamos will burn with them
