verse 1
LIZ:
looking out a dirty old window
down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
NATASHA:
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's shooting go heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town
looking out a dirty old window
down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
NATASHA:
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's shooting go heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town
pre-chorus
JENNY:
down town the young ones are going
down town the young ones are growing
down town the young ones are going
down town the young ones are growing
chorus
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
everybody live for the music-go-round
verse 2
NATASHA:
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
JENNY:
Hot shot give me no problems
much later baby you'll be saying never mind
you know life is cruel, life is never kind
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
JENNY:
Hot shot give me no problems
much later baby you'll be saying never mind
you know life is cruel, life is never kind
pre-chorus
LIZ:
Kind hearts don't make a new story
kind hearts don't grab any glory
Kind hearts don't make a new story
kind hearts don't grab any glory
chorus
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
everybody live for the music-go- round

verse 3
JENNY:
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
LIZ:
outside a new day is dawning
outside suburbias's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby out of here
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
LIZ:
outside a new day is dawning
outside suburbias's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby out of here
