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
