Young Man lyrics

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
