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 its soothing
Heading down, I search for the beat in this
Down town the young ones are goin
Down town the young ones are growin
Were the kids in america (whoa!)
Everybody listen to the music-go-round
Bright lights the music gets faster
Look girl, 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
Downtown the young ones are goin
Downtown the young ones are growin
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody listen to the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la hey
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la
Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience, feeling right
Don't try to stop baby hold me tight
Outside a new day is calling
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 (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody listen to the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la Hey
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la
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
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
We're the kids, we're the kids
We're the kids in America
