The Young Folks lyrics

You better make a way for the young folks

Here we come, and we’re so alive.

We’re here for business buddy,and don’t won’t no jive.

Brighter tomorrows are in our eyes

You better make a way for the young folks

Ooh, yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

We say yes

and you say no

We ask you why

and you close the door

My old friend I thought you knew by now, yeah

You can’t do that to the young folks

Oh, no,no,no,no

You might not like it

but I’ve got to tell you

I’ve got to tell you, na na, yeah yeah.

You better make a way for the young folks

Ooh, yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

We’re marching with signs

We’re standing in lines, yeah, yeah

Protesting your rights

to turn out the lights in our lives

Here’s the deal, accept it if you will

We’re coming on strong, yeah

It’s our turn to build

My old friend, I thought you knew by now, yeah

You gotta make a way for the young folks

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah

You may not like it, but I’ve got to tell you

I've got to tell you, oh, yeah,yeah,yeah

You better make a way, you better make a way

you gotta make a way for the young folks, yeah, yeah

Oh,oh,yeah,yeah, ooh

You may not like it but I’ve to tell you

I’ve got to tell you, na na na na …(fade)
