Текст песни Can't Blame the Youth (BBC in Concert: Live At the Dominion Theatre) - Peter Tosh

You can′t blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can′t blame the youth
(Of today)
You can't fool the youth
You're teachin′ youths to learn in school
That cow jump over moon
You′re teachin' youths to learn in school
That the dish ran away with spoon
So you can′t blame the youths
(When they don't learn)
You can′t fool the youths
(Can't fool the youth)
You can′t blame the youth
(Of today)
You can't fool the youth
You teach the youth about Christopher Columbus
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about the pirate Hawkins
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about the pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man
So you can't blame the youths
(Of today)
You can′t fool the youths
You can′t blame the youths
You can't fool the youths
All these great men were doin′
Robbin', rapin′, kidnappin' and killin′
So called great men were doin'
Robbin', rapin′, kidnappin′
So you can't blame the youths
You can′t fool the youths
You can't blame the youth
(None at all)
You can′t fool the youth
When every Christmas come
You buy the youth a pretty toy gun
When every Christmas come
You buy the youth a fancy toy gun
So you can't blame the youth
You can′t fool the youths
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youths
But what was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Is now revealed to the babes and the sucklin′s
What was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Now revealed to the babes and the sucklin′
Lord, call upon the youth
'Cause He know the youth is strong
Jah, Jah, call upon the youths
′Cause He know the youth is strong
So you can't blame the youth
You can′t fool the youth
You can't blame the youth
(Save the children)
You can′t fool the youth
Don't blame them, not their fault
