Maude Latour - Kids in America Lyrics

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 lives 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 good 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

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 warned ya)

We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody lives for the music-go-round

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
We're the kids, we're the kids
We're the kids in America
