Young man with high ideals
Ready for the big time
Young woman don't know how it feels
When you're hit by your own kind

Young love is a love so blind
But strong as a hurricane
The big world is not so kind
It runs you down like a freight train

Refrain:
Who can be
Who can be
Moses on the mountain
(2x)

These days with a plastic card
You can buy a plastic smile
X-rays and hear-says
They all find up in your file

Your job isn't really your job
It's just a hand-me-dow
Your car isn't really your car
They gave it to you so they can chase you around

Refrain

Don't give 'em your name
Don't give 'em your number
They'll take you away
And put you under

Young love is a love so blind
But strong as a hurricane
The big world is not so kind
It keeps running you down like a freight train

Who can be
Who can be
Moses on the mountain
(4x)
