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 growing Downtown the young ones are going 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 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 Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na 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 in America We're the kids in America Everybody live for the music-go-round
