Help Save The Youth Of America Lyrics

 
Your Rating

Must I Paint You A Picture? The Essential 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
