Kids in America

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

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

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

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

La la la la-la la-a

La la la la-la la

La la la la-la la-a

La la la la-la la

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

New York to east California

There's a new wave coming, I warn ya

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

Everybody lives for the music-go-round

La la la la-la la-a

La la la la-la la

La la la la-la la-a

La la la la-la la

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America
