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.    Down town the young ones are going       Down town the young ones are growing.       We're the kids in America       We're the kids in America       Everbody lives for the music go round.       Bright lights    the music gets faster       Look boy    don't check on your watch not another glanc@    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    . . .       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 surburbias sprawling everywhere.    I don't want to go    baby       New York to east California    There's a newwave coming    I warn you.       We're the kids in America    . . .       We're the kids    we're the kids       We're the kids in America . . .
