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 bracketed

we're the kids in america bracketed

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 bracketed

we're the kids in america bracketed

everybody live for the music go round

la la la la la la a

la la la la la la bracketed

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

e perience 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 bracketed

we're the kids in america bracketed

everybody lives for the music go round

la la la la la la a

la la la la la la bracketed

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
