Kids

Corrected lyrics:

The kids are playing in the sun They think their life has just begun For them it’s just another day Playing games all the kids would play There won’t be a me and you If we keep on fighting like we do Baby don’t you walk away, Saying things only kids would say Kids, what do they know about nothing now Loving, loving you here and I love when you’re gone Just another California day

Take your kid gloves off, this is love long gone Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off, this is love long gone Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for

You shout with nothing to say And fight til you get your way It hurts, but what can I do? I won’t turn into a kid, too Kids, what do they know about nothing now Loving, loving you here and I love when you’re gone

Take your kid gloves off, this is love long gone Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off, this is love long gone Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for

You’re playing in the setting sun You’re thinking life has just begun You’re throwing all my love away Just another California day Kids, what do they know about nothing now Just another California day Loving, loving you here and I love when you’re gone Just another California day

Take your kid gloves off, this is love long gone Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off, this is love long gone Give our peace a chance, make it worth fighting for

Great song with a pretty straightforward meaning, at least to me: two adult people are arguing. One is acting like a child. The other person in the argument explains that they won't stoop to acting like a child.

Probably one of my favorite songs on this album, but I still like "Life In Cartoon Motion" overall.

The kids are playing in the sun They think their life has just begun For them it’s just another day Playing games only kids would play There won’t be a me and you If we keep on fighting like we do Baby don’t you walk away Saying things only kids would say Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover love when your hear and I love when your gone Just another California day

Take your kid gloves off, This is love not war Give our peace a chance, Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off, This is love not war Give our peace a chance, Make it worth fighting for

You shout with nothing to say And fight till you get your way It hurts but what can I do I won’t turn into a kid too Kids what do they know about nothing at all Lover love when your hear and I love when your gone

Take your kid gloves off, This is love not war Give our peace a chance, Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off, This is love not war Give our peace a chance, Make it worth fighting for

You’re playing in the sand and the sun You think your life has just begun You’re throwing all my love away Just another California day Kids what do they know about nothing at all Just another California day Lover love when your hear and I love when your gone Just another California day

Take your kid gloves off, This is love not war Give our peace a chance, Make it worth fighting for Take your kid gloves off, This is love not war Give our peace a chance, Make it worth fighting for
