Bob Marley & The Wailers

You Can't Blame the Youth

You can't blame the youths

You can't fool the youths

You can't blame the youths of today

You can't fool the youths

You're teaching youths to learn in the school

And that the cow jumped over moon

Teaching youths to learn in the school

And that the dish ran away with spoon

So you can't blame the youths of today

You can't fool the youths

You can't blame the youths, not at all

You can't fool the youths

You teach the youths about Christopher Columbus

And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about Marco Polo

And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about the pirate Hawkins

And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about the pirate Morgan

And you said he was a very great man

So, you can't blame the youths, when they don't learn

You can't fool the youths

You can't blame the youths of today

You can't fool the youths

When every Christmas come

You buy the youth a pretty toy gun

When every Christmas comes around

You buy the youth a fancy toy gun

So, you can't blame the youths when they get bad

You can't fool the youths

You can't blame the youths of today

You can't fool the youths

Said he was a very great man

Said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about Christopher Columbus

And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about Marco Polo

And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about the pirate Hawkins

And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about the pirate Morgan

And you said he was a very great man

So, you can't blame the youths

You can't fool the youths

You can't blame the youths of today

You can't fool the youths, yeah

And you said he was a very great man
