Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in this 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

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 listen to the music-go-round

Bright light, the music, gets faster
Look, girl, 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

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 listen to the music-go-round

La la la la-la la-a

Come closer, honey, that's better
Got to get a brand new experience, feeling right
Don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight
Outside a new day is calling
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 listen to the music-go-round

La la la la-la la-a

[8x]
We're the kids, we're the kids
We're the kids in America

Fuck that shit
Fuck that shit
Fuck it
