(Bowie)
They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
Gee my life s a funny thing, am I
still too young?
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she d have taken anything, but
CHORUS (She)
All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American
Scanning life through the picture
window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford
Mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she ll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for
nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries Where have all Papa s heroes gone?
CHORUS (She)
All the way from Washington
Her bread winner begs off the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?
CHORUS (HE)
All night
He wants the young American
Young American, young American,
he wants the young American
All right
He wants the young American
Do you remember, your President Nixon?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay?
Or even yesterday?
Have been the un American?
Just you and your idol sing falsetto
bout Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression?
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro Sheeners
Ain t that close to love?
Well, ain t that poster love?
Well, it ain t that Barbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you
CHORUS (YOU)
All night
You want the young American
Young American, young American, you want the young American
All right
You want the young American
You ain t a pimp and you ain t a hustler
A pimp s got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Black s got respect, and white s got his soul train
Mama s got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain t there a man who can say no more?
And, ain t there a woman I can
sock on the jaw?
And, ain t there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain t there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain t you proud that you ve still got faces?
Ain t there one damn song that can make me
break down and cry?
CHORUS (I) (repeat 3 times ad lib)
All night
I want the young American
Young American, young American, I want the young American
All right
I want the young American
David Bowie (pronounced ['bo?.wi] in English), stage name of David Robert Jones (Brixton, 8 January 1947 – New York, 10 January 2016), was a British singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Active from the mid-1960s until his death in 2016, Bowie spanned five decades in rock music, reinventing his style and image over time through iconic characters like Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack, and The Thin White Duke. His music ranged from acoustic folk to electronic, encompassing glam rock, soul, and krautrock, leaving an indelible mark on musical history. Bowie collaborated with artists across generations, including Iggy Pop, Queen, and Nile Rodgers. Beyond music, Bowie also pursued acting, appearing in films such as *The Man Who Fell to Earth* (1976), *Furyo* (1983), and *Basquiat* (1996). Some of his most notable albums include *The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars* (1972), *Station to Station* (1976), and *Heroes* (1977). Among his most representative songs are *Space Oddity*, *Changes*, *Let's Dance*, and *Heroes*.
In the realm of rock 'n' roll, there are few names as iconic as Queen, and within the Queen pantheon, Brian May stands out not only as a legendary guitarist but also as an astrophysicist with a profound connection to NASA.

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
