STYX lyrics - Young Man

(James Young, Rick Young)



People say with age there comes experience

But answers seem more distant every day

The good news and the bad news come together

What politician played this trick you say?



Who can we get to win the fight?

A young man

Who can we get to make love all night?

A young man

Who do we send away to die?

A young man

I heard a lonely woman cry for

A young man



Ideologies mean very little

When in practicality they're quite the same

If God is love how can Her words be twisted

Into holy wars where men will kill and maim



Who can we get to win the fight?

A young man

Who can we get to make love all night?

A young man

Who do we send away to die?

A young man

I heard a lonely woman cry for

A young man



Come home my son, we'll give you a rest

Welcome my son, we'll give you the best

Time's stowaway, the young man

So short are the days, of the young man
