Lyrics

The Kids Are Alright

I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl

That's fine, I know them all pretty well

And I know sometimes I must get out in the light

Better leave her behind where the kids are alright

The kids are alright

Sometimes, I know I gotta get away

Bells chime, I know I gotta get away

And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind

Better leave her behind where the kids are alright

The kids are alright

I know if I go things would be a lot better for her

I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her

I don't mind, I feel I gotta get away

Bells chime, I know I gotta get away

And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind

Better leave her behind where the kids are alright

The kids are alright

The kids are alright

The kids are alright
