One nation under God indivisible
with liberty and justice for all

It was just the other day oh boy
A kid had a gun instead of havin a toy
And he didn�t run from his brother
Cuz he thought it was game
And the ending is just the same
You gotta get ourselves together boy
I�m lookin for love and im lookin for joy
I�m lookin for peace on the streets
Can you count on your brother
Can we make a reality
When Marvin said �What�s Goin� On� he said it right
So we�ll keep movin on we wont give up the fight

And it�ll be ooh yea alright
Cuz were the Young Americans
Young Americans Young Americans we are the Young Americans
Alright to be a Young American
(yea yea, that�s right, Young Americans, lets get it right this time�)

It was just the other day oh boy
Tell me our lives were bein destroyed
And there is no hope for the ghetto
Cuz the leaders don�t care
And they�re leavin us in despair
Its come to me in a better way oh boy
No time to be cruel nor time to be coy
We all took a pledge to the flag
And we count on each other
Cuz each other is all we had
When Marvin said �What�s Goin� On� he said it right
So we�ll keep pressin on to make the future bright

Its gonna be alright
Cuz were the Young Americans
Young Americans Young Americans we are the Young Americans
Alright to be a Young American
Together we�d stand
(oh together�)
Divided we�d fall
(oh we�d fall, we�d fall�)
But when we stand strong
(when we�ll stand strong�)
We fight through it all
(fight through it all�)
Tomorrow is new for the red white and blue
(Tomorrow is new�)
So let�s show them why
Without a scythe (?)

Wake up wake up wake up
Young America awake from the sleeping state
Racism add fuel to the fire of hate (that�s right�)
Let�s extinguish the flame with the waters of love
Let peace spread like the wings of a dove
The earth is dyin
And our lives are slowly endin
Open moves of despair
Scar tissue you never mended
So everybody join in the revolution
Don�t be caught in the problem
Lets make a solution
Unh clap your hands, clap your hands
Young America clap your hands
Young Americans, (We�) Young Americans (are the�)
We are the Young Americans
(Young Americans�)
