"The Kids From Yesterday" lyrics

"The Kids From Yesterday"

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Well now, this could be the last of all the rides we take
So, hold on tight and don't look back
We don't care about the message or the rules they make
I'll find you when the sun goes black

And you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young, we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate
They only care if you can bleed
Does the television make you feel the pills you ate
Or every person that you need to be?

'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young, we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday

Today! Today! We are the kids from yesterday... today, today!
Here we are and we won't stop breathing (Today! Today!)
Yell it out, 'til your heart stops beating (Today!)
We are the kids from yesterday! Today!

'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young, we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday

(Ooh, ooh...) We are the kids from yesterday
(Ooh, ooh...) We are the kids from yesterday
(Ooh, ooh...) We are the kids from yesterday
(Ooh, ooh...) Today, today

This is the sixth and last single released from their fourth and final album. It was released as a limited-edition bundle with a CD and a T-shirt.
Bassist Mikey Way said about this song in the booklet of "May Death Never Stop You" compilation, "...it acts as a time capsule, time machine in my mind. Countless memories pour out of me that I hadn't thought about in decades or had seemingly almost forgotten."
Frontman Gerard Way shared his thoughts about the song to Billboard, "I think it's the most special song for all of us because we were able to come to the conclusion that, yes, we have grown up, but we've done it our way."
