The Jackson 5 - The Young Folks

You better make a way for the young folks

Here we come (here we come)
And we're so alive
We're here for business buddy
And don't want no jive (don't want no jive)
Brighter tomorrows are in our eyes
You better make a way for the young folks
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We say yes (we say yes)
And you say no
We ask you why
And you close the door (you close the door)
My old friend, I thought you knew by now, yeah
You can't do that to the young folks
Oh, no, no, no, no

You might not like it
But I've gotta tell you (you might not like it)
Oh, gotta tell you (but I gotta tell you)
Na na, yeah yeah
You better make a way for the young folks
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're marching with signs
We're standing in lines, yeah, yeah
Protesting your rights
To turn out the lights in our lives
Here's the deal (here's the deal)
Accept it if you will
We're coming on strong, yeah (we're coming on strong)
It's our turn to build (to build)
My old friend, I thought you knew by now, yeah
You gotta make a way for the young folks
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You might not like it
But I've gotta tell you (you might not like it)
Oh, gotta tell you (but I gotta tell you)
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
You better make a way
You better make a way
You gotta make a way for the young folks, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh

You might not like it
But I've gotta tell you (you might not like it)
I gotta tell you (but I gotta tell you)
Na-na-na-na
You gotta make a way
You gotta make way
You gotta make a way for the young folks
