Lyrics for Restless Youth by Ian Hunter:
| | | Artist: | Ian Hunter |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Restless Youth | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 211 | | | | Lyrics: | (ian hunter)
He's much the same as anyone - he don't do what he's told
He got hostile
on his school report - and he leaves his mother cold
His father owned a bakery - one day they
found him hanged
It ain't good to be free in little italy - his son's the leader of the
gang
Chorus
Restless youth - restless youth
Restless youth - restless
youth
He soon found out he could not work - the money was no good
This child of the
city hit the welfare kitty - did some runnin' for the hoods
And the logic of the street was
such - that everything was bent
There's a lot of white collars - stealing government dollars -
wouldn't notice
Such a little percent.
Chorus
Now i went to his graduation -
in some brooklyn overnight jail
He said he was a member of the rock'n roll nation - but his face
was drawn 'n pale
They gave him a suspended sentence - 'n he got straight on the
phone
Called a big, big, man with a miami tan 'n said
"hi i'm al capone - the 2nd restless
youth"
Chorus
Now his first hit came at seventeen - his second was his
last
Some dealer ran screaming from the scene - as the bullets whistled past
'n the cop that
killed him shook his head 'n said "i swear the truth
When i know it was some old, old man 'n not
a restless youth."
Chorus
Now the moral of this story is that all he saw was
greed
Legal, illegalities 'n all them politician thieves
Good people of the u.s.a. if you
want your kids to grow
Then check your harvest carefully - don't reap; before you
sow
