Lyrics for You Can't Blame the Youth - Outtake
you can't blame the youth you can't fool the youth you can't blame the youths, of today you can't fool the youth You teachin' youths to learn in school that cow jump over moon You teachin' youths to learn in school that the dish run away with spoon so you can't blame the youth, when they don't learn You can't fool the youths You can't blame the youth, of today You teach the youths about Christopher Colombus And you said he was a very great man You teach the youth about Marco Polo And you said he was a very great man you teach the youths about the Pirate Hawkins And you said he was a very great man you teach the youths about Pirate Morgan And you said he was a very great man so you can't blame the youths, of today You can't fool the youths You can't blame the youths you can't fool the youths All these great men were doing, robbing, raping, kidnapping, and killing so-called great men, were doing, robbing, raping, kidnapping, and killing so you can't blame the youths You can't fool the youths You can't blame the youths you can't fool the youths When every Christmas come You buy the youth a pretty toy gun When every Christmas come You buy the youth a fancy toy gun so you can't blame the youth You can't fool the youth You can't blame the youth You can't fool the youth cause what was hidden from the wise and the prudish is now revealed to the babes and the suckling cause what was hidden from the wise and the prudish is now revealed to the babes and the suckling lord call upon the youth cause you know the youth is strong Jah Jah call upon the youth cause He know the youth is strong so you can't blame the youth You can't fool the youth You can't blame the youth (save your children) you can't fool the youth don't blame them
