The Muffs - Kids In America Lyrics

The Muffs Lyrics

"Kids In America"
(originally by Kim Wilde)

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 everyone's moving
I can feel 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
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 America
We're the kids in America
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 warn you

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