Young Without Lovers - John Mellencamp

Better take a look

At my circle

Better take a look around

Tell all my friends

Better take a look

At the colors of the people

Young without lovers

Old without friends

Better say a prayer

For the poor and unhealthy

Better sing a song

For those who don’t care

Let the people have the right

To be different

Young without lovers

Old without friends

Life is an abstraction

And it tries to fool us all

And it’s working so far it seems

Brother against brother

This world is such a mess

Behind the drawn curtains

So our thoughts can not be seen

Better shake the hand

Of the hated

Better hear the words

That don’t seem clear

Better take a look around

At what we’re doing

Young without lovers

Old without friends

Better take a look

At my circle

Better take a look around

Tell all of my friends

Let the people have the right

To be different

Young without lovers

Old without friends

Young without lovers

Old without friends

Young without lovers

Old without friends
