Kids In America Lyrics - The Muffs

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 (downtown) 

The young ones are going 

(Downtown) the young ones are growing 

We're the kids in America (whoa) 

We're the kids in America (whoa) 

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 nevermind 

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 (whoa) 

We're the kids in America (whoa) 

Everybody live for the music-go-round 

La la la la-la la-a 

La la la la-la la, sing! 

La la la la-la la-a 

La la la la-la la 

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 ya 

We're the kids in America (whoa) 

We're the kids in America (whoa) 

Everybody lives for the music-go-round 

La la la la-la la-a 

La la la la-la la, sing! 

La la la la-la la-a 

La la la la-la la 

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
