Looking out a dirty old window   Outside the cars in the   City go rushing by   I sit here alone    And I wonder why   Friday night and everyone's moving   I can fell the heat   But it's shooting   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 [x2]   Everybody live for the music-go-round      Bright lights 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 everywhere   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   We're the kids   We're the kids in America
