All The Young Dudes Lyrics
Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don't want to stay alive when you're 25
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars from
his face
Funky little boatrace
television man is crazy saying we're juvenile
delinquent wrecks
Oh man – I need T.V.? When I got T. Rex
Hey brother you guessed I'm a dude now
Billy's looking sweet cos he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule – it's a real mean team
But we can love, oh yes, we can love
And my father's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones,
He never got off on the revolution stuff,
What a drag
Too many snags
Well I drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Gonna raise some cat to bed
Oh man – is that concrete all around or is it in my head
Brother I'm a dude now...
All the young dudes – carry the news
Boogaloo dudes – carry the news
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don't want to stay alive when you're 25
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars from
his face
Funky little boatrace
delinquent wrecks
Oh man – I need T.V.? When I got T. Rex
Hey brother you guessed I'm a dude now
But he can kick like a mule – it's a real mean team
But we can love, oh yes, we can love
And my father's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones,
He never got off on the revolution stuff,
What a drag
Too many snags
Well I drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Gonna raise some cat to bed
Oh man – is that concrete all around or is it in my head
Brother I'm a dude now...
Boogaloo dudes – carry the news

This is actually considered a gay anthem, but Bruce didn't even write this song. He remade it from some other band.
I guess if you consider Glam rock homosexual....but i imagine a lot of heterosexuals still listen to Kiss and Bowie..
But of course you would have to assume that all gays are cross dressers and clearly have sex with women.
Anyways, this song was written by David Bowie for the Mott the Hoople band in an attempt to save it. Bruce Likes bowie, Bruce sings bowie. Everything still makes sense.
