[Verse 1]
Looking out a dirty old window
Down the cars below on the city streets passing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I feel the heat but it's soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this...

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Downtown where everyone's going
Downtown with officers growing

[Chorus]
We're the kids in America (Woah)
We're the kids in America (Woah)
Everybody dance for the music-go-round

[Verse 2]
Bright lights, the music gets faster
Don't check on your watch there, boy, not another glance
I'm not leaving now, sugar, not a chancе
Hot-shot, give me no [?]
Next day, you will listеn to Nevermind
You know life is cruel, life is...

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
Kind hearts don't make a new story
[Chorus]
We're the kids in America (Woah)
We're the kids in America (Woah)
Everybody dance for the music-go-round

[Post-Chorus]
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la (Hey!)
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la
Da-na-na
Da-na-na-na

[Verse 3]
Come closer, honey, that's better
Got to get a brand new experience, feeling right
Oh, don't leave me now, sugar, hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's crawling everywhere
I don't want to go, baby

[Pre-Chorus 3]
New York to west of East Bay
There's some news, they're coming your way

[Chorus]
We're the kids in America (Woah)
We're the kids in America (Woah)
Everybody dance for the music-go-round
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la (Hey!)
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la
Da-na-na
Da-na-na-na

[Outro]
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids
The kids in America
