when you're young and so in so in love as we

and bewildered by the world we see

why do people hurt us so

only those in love would 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

though 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 with pity can do
