Kids in America (feat. Charlotte Hatherley)

Lookin' out a dirty old window

Down below the cars in the city go rushin' by

I sit here alone and I wonder why

Friday night and everyone's moving

I can feel the heat, but it's soothing, headin' down

I search for the beat in this dirty town

(Downtown) The young ones are going

(Downtown) The young ones are growing

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa')

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 leavin' now, honey, not a chance

Hot-shot, give me no problems

Much later, baby, you'll be sayin' never mind

You know life is cruel, life is never kind

Kind hearts don't make a news story

Kind hearts don't grab any glory

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

Everybody live for the music-go-round

La la la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la

Come closer, honey, that's better

Got to get a brand new experience, feelin' right

Oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight

Outside a new day is dawning

Outside suburbia's sprawlin' everywhere

I don't want to go, baby

New York to East California

There's a new wave coming I warn ya

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

We're the kids in America (Whoa)

Everybody live for the music-go-round

La la la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la

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...
