Lyrics

Lyrics

When you're young and so in love as we

And bewildered by the world we see

Why do people hurt us so?

Only those in love could know

What a town without pity can do

If we stop to gaze upon a star

People talk about how bad we are

Ours is not an easy age

We're like tigers in a cage

What a town without pity can do

The young have problems

Many problems

We need an understanding heart

Why don't they help us?

Try to help us

Before this clay and granite planet falls apart!

Take these eager lips and hold me fast

I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last

How can we keep love alive?

How can anything survive

When these little minds tear you in two?

What a town without pity can do

How can we keep love alive?

How can anything survive

When these little minds tear you in two?

What a town without pity can do

No, it isn't very pretty what a town without pity

Can do
