Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go
a
Rushing by
  g         a          e                                   x
I sit here alone and I wonder why

Friday night and everyone's moving                         (embarque)
I can feel the heat but it's soothing
Heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town                   fin:

   E
  (Down town) The young ones are going
   F♯
  (Down town) The young ones are growing

    G                  D                                   w/ basse g a b c♯
    We're the kids in America (wo-oh)                               d e f♯ g
    We're the kids in America (wo-oh)
    G         A                     (B)
    Everybody live for the music-go-round

B  w/ 2e synthé

Bright lights the music get faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance

Hot shot (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

B  D  A  G  x 2  w/ (Na na na...) say!  fin: reste    A

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 comin' I warn ya

    Refrain

B  D  A  G  x 2  w/ (Na na na...) say!  fin: reste    A

B  G  Esus4  E  x 2

(We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids in America)  x 4
