All the Young Dudes Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

We′re gonna do a song, ah
This song, I think I squeezed it onto the last, I did a soul record
And it's sort of ah, it′s actually written by fuckin' David Bowie, ya know
How white can you get?
But it's about freedom
This one′s for Mary, you know who she is

Oh, yeah, well we rapped all night ′bout suicide
Thought he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed child, you don′t wanna stay alive, when you're 25
Lucy′s stealing clothes from unlocked cars
She got zits on her face from picking up stars
The little golden ray, oh yeah
Our television man is crazy
Says I'm a juvenile delinquent wreck
I don′t need TV, I got T. Rex
Oh-ho-ho, yeah, well I'm a dude now


All the young dudes, hey you
Carry the news, oh yeah
Do-do-do-do
Carry the news, listen

I wanna hear ya
All the young dudes, oh
Carry the news
Do-do-do-do
Carry the news

Oh, looking so sweet, but dressed like a queen
She could kick like a mule, it's a real mean team, and
We can love, oh love, hey
Well, my brother′s at home, Beatles and Stones
He never got off on the revolution stuff
Such a drag, it′s such a drag
I drunk a lot of wine, I'm feeling fine
I wanna wreck this town tonight
Is it concrete all around me? Is it in my head?
Oh-ho-ho, whoa, well I′m a dude now

All the young dudes (hey you)
Carry the news (I wanna hear ya)
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Carry the news (come on)


(Oh, hey you) all the young dudes
(I wanna tell you) carry the news
Oo-oo-oo-ooh (listen)
Carry the news (oh)

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Carry the news (get up, stand up, get up)

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Do-do-do-do
Carry the news

It's too fuckin′ sloppy, isn't it?
