The Kids Aren't Alright

[Verse 1: Joshua Le Breton & Daniel Loller]

Stuck in the jet wash

A bad trip I couldn't get off

Maybe I bit off more than I could chew

Overhead of the aqua blue

Fall to your knees bring on the rapture

Blessed be the boys time can't capture

On film or between the sheets

I always fall from your window to the pitch black street

[Pre-Chorus 1: Benjamin Duddy with Jack Le Blancq]

And with the black banners raised

As the crooked smiles fade

Former heroes who quit too late

Who just wanna fill up the trophy case again

[Chorus: All]

And in the end

I'd do it all again

I think you're my best friend

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

I'll be yours

When it rains it pours

Stay thirsty like before

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

[Verse 2: Holly Atkinson with Eloise Martin-Sarre, Elaine Lowe & Lauren Baker]

I'm not passive but aggressive

Take note, it's not impressive

Empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse

On my bedroom floor

We put your curse in reverse

And it's our time now if you want it to be

Maul the world like the carnival bear set free

And your love is anemic and I can't believe

That you couldn't see it coming from me

[Pre-Chorus 1: Benjamin Duddy & Jack Le Blancq with Elaine Lowe & Lauren Baker]

And I still feel that rush in my veins

It twists my head just a bit to think

All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead

[Chorus: All]

And in the end

I'd do it all again

I think you're my best friend

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

I'll be yours

When it rains it pours

Stay thirsty like before

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

[Bridge: Daniel Loller]

Sometimes I just want to sit around and gaze at my shoes, yeah

And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon

[Chorus: Holly Atkinson & All]

And in the end

I'd do it all again

I think you're my best friend

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

I'll be yours

When it rains it pours

Stay thirsty like before

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

[Outro: Daniel Loller]

Yeah

Ah

Yeah
