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 fell 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

We're the kids in America

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

We're the kids in America

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 Sububia'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

We're the kids in America

Everybody live for the music-go-round





We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids in America
