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 fell the heat
But it's shooting
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
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round


Bright lights the music gets faster
Look boy, 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


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 Sububia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New York to East California
There's a new wave coming I warn you


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
