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 fell 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
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

We're the kids in Americe
Everybody live for the music-go-round
(tadadadadadadadada)

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

We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round
(tadadadadadadadada)

We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
