When you're young and so in love as we
And bewildered by the world we see
Why do people hurt us so?
Only those in love would know
What a town without pity can do

If we stop to gaze upon a star
People talk about how bad we are
Ours is not an easy age 
We're like tigers in a cage
What a town without pity can do

The young have problems, many problems
They need an understanding heart
Why don't they help us, try to help us
before this clay and granite planet falls apart

So kiss these eager lips and hold me fast
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive?
How can anything survive?
The way these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do, yeah

How can we keep love alive?
How can anything survive?
The way these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

No, it isn't very pretty
What a town without pity can do
Can do
What a town without pity can do
Can do
