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 soothing
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 suburbia's calling, everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New York to East California
There's a new wave coming we warn ya
We're the kids in America
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round
We're the kids in America
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone
And I wonder why
I can feel the heat but it's soothing
Heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town
Down town the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round
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 calling, everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New York to East California
There's a new wave coming we warn ya
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round

Why does Cascada have so little posts? I like her/their music. I guess it's partly because her/their songs are only popular in Canada.
kids in america? she's from britian. why would she be singing about kids in america?
I love this song. I think it's better than any other version of it, but that's just because I love all of her/their songs!
kim wilde, the original singer of this song, is from london.. and lived there when she came out with this song.. plus it is just a cover..
it annoys me that this blatant rip off is so popular. So little talent so many cover versions all with a cheesy 80s dance beat.
