The Kids Are Alright Lyrics

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl.
That's fine, I know them all pretty well.
But in time I know I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind with the kids are alright,
The kids are alright

Sometimes I feel I gotta get away.
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away.
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind.
Better leave her behind with the kids are alright,
The kids are alright.

I know if I'd go thing's be a lot better for her.
I had things planned but her folks wouldn't let her.

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl.
That's fine, I know them all pretty well.
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
And leave her behind with the kids are alright,
the kids are alright.

Sometimes I feel I gotta get away.
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away.
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind.
Better leave her behind with the kids are alright,
The kids are alright,
The kids are alright,
The kids are alright.

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.
