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
Oh Oh
We're the kids in america
Oh Oh
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
