Vers:
(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
CHORUS
