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 Downtown the young ones are going Downtown the young ones are growing We're the kids in America (Oooohhh) We're the kids in America (Oooohhh) 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 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 (Oooohhh) We're the kids in America (Oooohhh) 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 New York to East California There's a new wave coming I warn you We're the kids in America (Oooohhh) We're the kids in America (Oooohhh) Everybody live for the music-go-round We're the kids in America (Oooohhh) We're the kids in America (Oooohhh) Everybody live for the music-go-round
