Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lookin' out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Downtown, the young ones are going
Downtown, the young ones are growing
[Verse 4]
We're the kids in America
Whoa
We're the kids in America
Whoa
Everybody live for the music go round
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Hot shot, give me no problems
Much later, baby, you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind
[Verse 7]
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
[Verse 8]
We're the kids in America
Whoa
We're the kids in America
Whoa
Everybody live for the music go round
[Verse 9]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go, baby
[Verse 12]
New York to east California
There's new wave comin', I warn ya
[Verse 13]
We're the kids in America
Whoa
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music go round
[Verse 14]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
