If The Kids Are United Lyrics

For once in my life I got something to say
I wanna say it now cuz now is today
A love has been given to grab and enjoy
So let's all grab and let's all enjoy

If the kids are united they will never be divided
If the kids are united they will never be divided

Take a look around you - what do you see?
Kids with feelings like you and me
You understand him, he understands you
For you are him and he is you

I don't wanna be rejected
I don't wanna be an unknown
As long as we stand together
Well it'll just be the start

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. Sham 69 is awesome. I dunno if they did it first, but I think so. And Lars's other band did it, but in my opinion Sham 69 did it best. Anyway, kick ass song, very clear meaning. If we're united, we can't be divided, we're very unified and all that shit. Kids are kids, punks are punks, we're all human, don't let that affect you. Love it.
