Lyrics
Young man, they're gonna crack your back now, young man.
Young man they're gonna crack your back now, young man.
Young man, they're gonna crack your back and at the end of the day they'll give you nothin' back.
Young man, they're gonna crack your back now, young man.
Young girl they're gonna steal your sweetness now, young girl.
Young girl they're gonna take your honey now, young girl.
Young girl, they're gonna steal your sweetness gonna lay you flat and keep you on your back,
Young girl they're gonna steal your honey now, young girl.
But oh, it's alright.
Oh, don't let it cause you strife.
Oh, it's just life . . .

Old man, they've gonna take your soul now, old man.
