Young Man Blues Royal Albert Hall by The Who Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2003

[Verse 1]
Well a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Well, you know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people they stepped back
When a young man walked by

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
But you know nowadays
It's the old man
Who's got all the money
And a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days, I say
Ain't got nothin'
Ain't got sweet fuck all!
[Instrumental break]

[Ad-Libs over instrumental break]

Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows
He ain't got—

Ooh, yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah!
Yeah
Get it

Everybody knows, everybody knows
In the old days
Everybody stepped back
When a young man walked, walked by

They stepped back!
They stepped back!
They stepped back!

[Outro]
Nowadays, if you're the young man
You ain't got nothin' in the world these days, I said!
They ain't got nothin'
Ain't got sweet fuck all!


[Crowd cheering]
