The Young Knives - Kids in America 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
I can feel the heat
But it's shooting heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town

Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing

We're the kids in America (woah)
We're the kids in America (woah)
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 (woah)
We're the kids in America (woah)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na (hey!)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na

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 ya

We're the kids in America (woah)
We're the kids in America (woah)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
