作曲：J Cliff

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

Light them on get to go and rob

Then 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

Instead of giving us a fight

Treat the youths right

Or you'll be playin' with dynamite

All the boys and girls of today

Here's the well-know rumour of tomorrow

Take heed to the words that I say

All 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

I won't go hither from the first resurrection

I want my field in the second resurrection

I won't go hither from the first generation

I won't be real 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

Instead of putting up a fight

And if you treat the youths right

Or you'll been playin' with dynamite
