Treat the Youth Right Songtext
Yeah oh!
Yeah oh!
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you′ll been playing with dynamite
Oh
When you go and look for a job
There was someone giving you a fight
Like they want you to go and rob
And we know that that's alright
Oh yeah (yeah)!
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you′ll been playing with dynamite
Yeah yeah yeah oh!
All the boys and girls of today
Are the men and women of tomorrow
Take heat of the words that I say
Or your days will be filled with sorrow
Oh yeah (yeah)!
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll been playing with dynamite
Treat the youth right right right right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll been playing with dynamite
Oh! Yeah!
What was hidden from the wise and prudent
Now revealed to the babes and sucklings
What was hidden from the high school students
Now, revealed to the the kids and ducklings
Oh yeah (yeah)!
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you′ll been playing with dynamite
Oh
Yeah oh! (Yeah oh!)
Yeah oh! (Yeah oh!)
Yeah yeah yeah oh! (Yeah yeah yeah oh!)
Yeah yeah yeah oh! (Yeah yeah yeah oh!)
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you′ll been playing with dynamite
Treat the youth right right right right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll been playing with dynamite
Oh
