"Treat The Youth Right" lyrics
"Treat The Youth Right"
(originally by Jimmy Cliff)
Yeah...
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing without a mic
When you go and look for a job
There was someone giving you a fight
Like they want you to go and rob
And we know that that's alright, ooh yeah...
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing without a mic, yeah...
All the boys and girls of today
Are the men and women of tomorrow
Take heat of the words that I say
Or your days will be filled with sorrow, ooh yeah...
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing without a mic
Treat the youth right-right-right-right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing without a mic, oh... yeah
Always hear from the wise and prudent
[?]
Now let's hear it from the high school students
[?]
Ooh yeah...
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing without a mic
Oh... yeah...
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing without a mic
Treat the youth right-right-right-right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing without a mic, oh... yeah...
