Kids in America

[Verse 1]

Looking out a dirty old window

Down below, the cars in the city go rushing by

I sit here alone, and I wonder why

Friday night, and everyone's moving

I can feel the heat, but it's soothing heading down

I search for the beat in this dirty town

[Chorus]

Downtown; the young ones are going

Downtown; the young ones are growing

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

Everybody live for the music-go-round

[Verse 2]

Bright lights; the music gets faster

Look, boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance

I'm not leaving now, honey, not a chance

Hot shot, give me no problems

Much later, baby, you'll be saying, "Never mind"

You know life is cruel

Life is never kind

[Chorus]

Kind hearts don't make a new story

Kind hearts don't grab any glory

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

Everybody live for the music-go-round

[Post-Chorus]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na (Say)

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

[Bridge]

Come closer, honey, that's better

Gotta get a brand new experience feeling right

Oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight

Outside a new day is dawning

Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere

I don't want to go, baby

New York to east California

There's a new wave coming, I warn ya

[Outro]

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

Everybody live for the music-go-round

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

Everybody live for the music-go-round
