B
Looking out a dirty old window.
                                   A
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by.
  G         A          E
I sit here alone and I wonder why.

[Verse 2]
B
Friday night and everyone's moving.

I can feel the heat but it's soothing.
A
Heading down,
  G              A            E
I search for the beat in this dirty town.

[Bridge 1]
E
Down town the young ones are going.
F#
Down town the young ones are growing.

[Chorus]
G                  D
We're the kids in America.
G                  D
We're the kids in America.
G         A                     B
Everybody live for the music-go-round.

[Verse 3]
B
Bright lights, the music gets faster.
                                          A
Look boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance.
    G           A          E
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance.

[Verse 4]
B
Hot-shot, give me no problems.
                                 A
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind.
    G            A              E
You know life is cruel, life is never kind.

[Bridge 2]
E
Kind hearts don't make a new story.
F#
Kind hearts don't grab any glory.

[Chorus]
G                  D
We're the kids in America.
G                  D

Everybody live for the music-go-round.

B
Come closer, honey that's better.

Got to get a brand new experience.
A
Feeling right.
    G            A          E
Oh, don't try to stop baby, hold me tight.

[Verse 6]
B
Outside a new day is dawning.
                             A
Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere.
  G             A
I don't want to go baby.

[Bridge 3]
E
New York to East California.
F#
There's a new wave coming I warn you.

[Chorus]
G                  D
We're the kids in America.
G                  D
We're the kids in America.

Everybody live for the music-go-round.
