Song Lyrics

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

Well, I can feel the heat, but it's shooting, 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 lives 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
Hotshot, so give me no problems
Much later, baby, you'll be saying "never mind"

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, whoa

We're the kids in America, whoa
And everybody lives for the music-go-round

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la, so
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la la la, yeah

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, sububia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go, baby
Lost town to Southern California
There's a new wave coming, I warned 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 la
La la la la la la, so
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la la la, yeah

Let's go!
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
