lirik lagu anaïs mitchell - young man in america (2014)
my mother gave a mighty shout
opened her legs and let me out
hungry as a prairie dog
young man in america
young man in america
hungry, hungry
running every which way
young man in americ~ay
i come out like a cannonball
come of age with alcohol
ravin’ in a field of rye
with a black and roving eye
black and roving eye
ravenous, ravenous
what you got’s not enough
young man in america
oh shelter, mother shelter
mother, shelter us
ooh…
my father was a lord of land
my daddy was a repo man
put me out onto the street
didn’t give a d~mn for me
did not givе a d~mn
but daddy, daddy
gonna wish you never had me
i’m a young man
i’m growing right bеfore your eyes
i might grow to such a size
blowin’ like a hurricane
everyone will know my name
everyone’ll know my name
blowin’ in, blowin’ up
shadow on a mountaintop
young man in america
oh shepherd, father shepherd
father, shepherd us
ooh
in my feathers and furs
clothes of many colors
many men will envy me
when i’m in my finery
me in my finery
envy me, envy me
spending all my bright money
young man in americ~ay
maybe i could climb the stairs
with a girl of golden hair
hold her like a sword and shield
up against this lonely world
up against the world
it’s a lonely, lonely world
for a yellow headed girl
and a young man
[instrumental]
ooh
like the wind i make my moan
i howl in the canyon
there’s a hollow in my bones
make me cry and carry on
make the foam fly from my tongue
make me want what i want
another wayward son
waiting on oblivion
waiting on a kingdom
come to meet me in my sin
waiting to be born again
mother, kiss me cheek and chin
mm, a little medicine
mm, and i’ll shed my skin
and let me climb back in
the bed you made me in
