A cover of a classic Styx song from one of their 1973 albums The Serpent Is Rising.
The first line of verse 1, the chorus, the bridge, and the outro are all the same. All the other lyrics are new, and were not in the original song.
[Verse 1]
People say with age there comes experience
But answers seem more distant every day
The good news and the bad news come together
What politician played this trick you say?
[Chorus]
Who can we get to win the fight?
A young man
Who can we get to make love all night?
A young man
Who do we send away to die?
A young man
I heard a lonely woman cry for
A young man
[Verse 2]
Ideologies mean very little
When in practicality they're quite the same
If God is love how can Her words be twitsted
Into holy ways where men will kill and maim
[Chorus]
Who can we get to win the fight?
A young man
Who can we get to make love all night?
A young man
Who do we send away to die?
A young man
I heard a lonely woman cry for
A young man
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, young man
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, young man
[Bridge]
Come home my son
We'll give you a rest
Welcome my son
We'll give you the best
Time stowaway
The young man
So short are the days
Of the young man
[Outro]
Young man (Young man)
Young man
Young man
