Kids in America

[Verse 1]
Lookin' 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 movin'
I can feel the heat, but it's soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this

[Pre-Chorus]
Downtown, the young ones are goin'
Downtown, the young ones are growin'

[Chorus]
We're the kids in Americaoah (Woah-oh)
We're the kids in America (Woah-oh)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

[Verse 2]
Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, boy, don't check 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 sayin' "nevermind"
You know life is cruel, life is

[Pre-Chorus]
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory

[Chorus]
We're the kids in America (Woah-oh)
We're the kids in America (Woah-oh)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

[Post-Chorus]
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la la-la-la (Hey!)
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la-la-la

[Verse 3]
Come closer, honey, that's better
Gotta get a brand new experience, feelin' 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 comin', I warn ya

[Chorus]
We're the kids in America (Woah-oh)
We're the kids in America (Woah-oh)
Everybody lives for the music-go-round

[Post-Chorus]
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la la-la-la (Hey!)
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la-la-la

[Outro]
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
