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, oh oh
We're the kids in America, oh oh
Everybody live for the music-go-round

Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, girl, 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

Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory

We're the kids in America, oh oh
We're the kids in America, oh oh
Everybody live for the music-go-round

La la la la la la-a, sing!
La la la la la la, sing!
La la la la la la-a, sing! La la la la la la

We're the kids we're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids (oh, yeah) we're the kids
We're the kids in America because

We're the kids in America, oh oh
We're the kids in America, oh oh
Everybody live for the music-go-round
