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 will 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

They need an understanding heart

Why don't they help us, try and help us

Before this grey 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 those little minds tear you in two

What a town without pity can do





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 those 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

Whoa, can do
