Treat The Youths Right |
| Treat the youths right |
| Instead of putting up a fight |
| Treat the youths right |
| Or you’ll been playin' with dynamite |
| Treat the youths right |
| Instead of putting us a fight |
| Treat the youths right |
| Or you’ll been playin' with dynamite |
| When you go and look for a job |
| There is someone givin' you a fight |
| Like they want you to go and rob |
| And we know that that’s not right |
| Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah) |
| Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Treat the youths right |
| Instead of putting up a fight |
| Now if you treat the youths right |
| Or you’ll been playin' with dynamite |
| 'Cause if you treat the youths right, right, right, right |
| Instead of giving us a fight |
| Treat the youths right |
| Or you’ll be playin' with dynamite |
| All the boys and girls of today |
| Who are the grown men and women of tomorrow |
| Take heed to the words that I say |
| Or your days will be filled with sorrow |
| Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah) |
| Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Treat the youths right |
| Instead of putting up a fight |
| 'Cause if you treat the youths right |
| You could be sitting on a bomb |
| What was hidden from the first resurrection |
| Now revealed in the second resurrection |
| What was hidden from the first generation |
| Now revealed to the fifth generation |
| Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah) |
| Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Treat the youths right |
| Instead of giving us a fight |
| Treat the youths right |
| Or you’ll been playin' with dynamite |
| Sucka treat the youths right, right, right, right |
| Instead of putting up a fight |
| And if you treat the youths right |
| Or you’ll been playin' with dynamite |
| What was hidden from the wise and prudent |
| Now revealed to the babes and sucklings |
| What was hidden from the high school students |
| Now, revealed to the the kids and ducklingd |
| Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah) |
| Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Treat the youths right |
| Instead of putting up a fight |
| Now if you treat the youths right |
| Or you’ll been playin' with dynamite |
| If you treat the youths right, right, right, right |
| Treat the youths right |
| Treat the youths right |
| Treat the youths right |
| Treat the youths right |
| Treat the youths right |
| Treat them right, treat them right! |
| Treat the youths right |
