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 everyones moving
I can feel the heat
But its soathing
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 :

Were the kids in america (x 2)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

Bright lights the music gets faster
Look boy, dont check on your watch
Not another glance
Im not leaving now, honey not a chance

Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby youll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind

Kind hearts dont make a new story
Kind hearts dont grab any glory

Ch.

Come closer, honey thats better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh dont try to stop baby
Hold me tight

Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbias sprawling everywhere
I dont want to go baby
New york to east california
Theres a new wave coming I warn you

Ch.

Were the kids
Were the kids
Were the kids in america

    General Comment:I like the Kids in America song...but I think the Toy Dolls version of the song is "the Kids in Tyne & Wear"
    I'm not sure what tyne and wear means..but the song seems like its about not having any cash handy.
