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
