The Kids Are Alright

[Chorus]
You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright

[Verse 1]
Oh darling, oh darling, I'm skippin' school
Hidin' from your mama but you ain't no fool
Sailin' through your classes like an ocean cruise, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh heaven, oh heaven, where did you go?
Dancing to the rhythm of the radio
Signal's getting weaker as I'm getting old, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I've got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright

[Verse 3]
Oh my little heaven, yeah we can dream
Shining out the memories for the silver screen
Scattering around me like a colour scheme, oh yeah

[Verse 4]
Oh mama, oh mama I'm up all night
Sweating, yeah I'm climbing up the farenheits
Coasting through the city like a satellite, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Oh horror, oh horror, what did you see?
Monsters in the closet and they just won't leave
Clogging up your arteries with memories, oh yeah

[Verse 6]
The skeleton living inside your head
Rattling and gasping, coming up for breath
Maybe in your memory I'm still not dead, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright

[Instrumental Outro]
