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

Downtown the young ones are going
Downtown 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 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 never kind

Young punks we'll make a new story
Young punks 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 sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New York to East Philidelphia
There's a new wave coming, I 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
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
(Repeat ad nausem)

Cover of a classic. None of the guys actually sing the song, it was a guest vocalist.

I think it sound sgreat and is a good cover. What does it mean? Well it just is upfront with it's meaning. It's about rebellion in some ways and also just teens.
