Young Man

Styx

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
