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 its soothing heading down,
I search for the beat in this dirty town,
Downtown the young ones are going,
Downtown the young ones are growing,
[Refrain] :
We're the kids in America,(woah)
We're the kids in America,(woah)
Everybody live for the music around,
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,
[Refrain]
Come closer honey thats better,
Gotta 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 calling, everywhere,
I don't want to go baby,
New York to East California,
There's a new wave coming, I warn ya,
[Refrain] x2
