Kids in America

[Verse 1]

Looking out a dirty old window

Outside 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Downtown, the young ones are going

Downtown, the young ones are growing

[Chorus]

We're the kids in America

We're the kids in America

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 nevermind

You know life is cruel, life is never kind

[Pre-Chorus]

Kind hearts don't make a new story

Kind hearts don't grab any glory

[Chorus]

We're the kids in America

We're the kids in America

Everybody live for the music-go-round!

Come closer, honey that's better

Got to 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

[Pre-Chorus]

New York to East California

There's a new wave coming I warn you

[Chorus]

We're the kids in America

We're the kids in America

Everybody live for the music-go-round!

[Outro Chorus]

We're the kids in America

We're the kids in America

We're the kids in America

Everybody live for the music-go-round!
