Maude Latour - Kids in America

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 shooting, 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 (woah-oh)
We're the kids in America (woah-oh)
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 good story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory

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

La, la la la la-la
La, la la la la
La, la la la la-la
La, la la la la

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 ya

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

La, la la la la-la
La, la la la la
La, la la la la-la
La, la la la la

We're the kids! We're the kids! (La, la la la la-la)
We're the kids in America! (La, la la la la)
We're the kids! We're the kids! (La, la la la la-la)
We're the kids in America! (La, la la la la)
We're the kids! We're the kids! (La, la la la la-la)
We're the kids in America! (La, la la la la)
We're the kids! We're the kids! (La, la la la la-la)
We're the kids in America
