When you're young and 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!
The young have problems, many problems
We need an understanding heart
Why don't they help us, try and 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! (fine)
Instrumental
dal $egno al fine
(Coda:)
No, it isn't very pretty
what a town without pity can do!
