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 (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-roundBright lights, the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chanceHot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kindDown town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-roundKind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any gloryWe're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laa sing!
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laaCome closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tightOutside a new day is dawning
Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go babyDown town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-roundNew York to east California
There's a new wave coming I warn you
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laa sing!
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laaWe're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America!
