Early one mornin'

Got out of my car

Saw a hippie couple

taking their love too far.

I laughed at them

Cuz I'm so cool

And they looked like

Dirty old fools

Yesterday's kids are tryin' to hide

yesterday's kids better step aside

Yesterday's kids with their horrible lies

Go on home to your long lonely nights

Let's bring back today

It's been gone too long

Your high school hot

Days are long gone

Your memory wires

are all broken down

Old age fantasies

are all that you've found

Yesterday's kids are tryin' to hide

yesterday's kids better step aside

Yesterday's kids with their horrible lies

Go on home to your long lonely nights

Hey kids are you ready

Here's the message

yea!

We're the new heroes

hot on your heels

run over you with burning hot wheels

burn our wheels

wheels burn on

yea

just so light

your out of circulation

tryin' to get it on

to be someone else

is a what your'e doing wrong

we can see you dodging

all your private pain

we don't give a damn

that u seem so ashamed

Yesterday's kids are tryin' to hide

yesterday's kids better step aside

Yesterday's kids with their horrible lies

Go on home to your long lonely nights
