Songtekst
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 ev'ryone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's soothing
Heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town
Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing
[chorus]:
We're the kids in America [2x]
Ev'rybody lives for the music-go-round
Bright light the music gets faster
Look boy, 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
[chorus]
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
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside Suburbia's sprawling ev'rywhere
I don't want to go baby
New York to East California
There's a new wave coming I warn you
[chorus]
We're the kids [3x] in America
