Lyrics

Kids in the Neighborhood

to "Kids in America" by The Muffs

Studying Students Lookin' out the Drapkin Lounge window I can see the yellow bus parking, I heave a sigh The kids all pile off and I wonder why Afternoon on any old Wednesday I can hear the screams and it's making me insane I turn up my iPod, it's all in vain Downstairs the young one's are runnin' Downstairs they're sure havin' fun, and They're the kids in the neighborhood They're the kids in the neighborhood I don't know if I can take more of these clowns Tutoring Students One kid is missing, go chase her Look, man, they need a role model, just give a chance You don't really need to read for Finance Most kids will give you no problems Don't yell and this kid will keep an open mind You might help him out of a major bind Take part, and tell them a story Fake farts will earn you new glory They're the kids in the neighborhood They're the kids in the neighborhood It's a non-law way to help out in this town Kids Going to Columbia Law School Teachers say I'll get help in math from some big nerd Please don't tell my friend, guys, now not a word Not like the people there want us Dirty looks and ugly law students everywhere I don't want to go, baby Stuck here with nothing to do I'll be trouble-makin', I warn you We're the kids in the neighborhood We're the kids in the neighborhood Can you blame us if we go running around?

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 fell the heat but it's shooting heading down I search for the beat in this dirty town Downtown, the young ones are going Downtown, the young ones are growing We're the kids in America We're the kids in America Everybody live for the music-go-round 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 Hotshot, give me no problems Much later, baby, you'll be saying nevermind You know life is cruel, life is never kind Kind hearts don't make a new story Kind hearts don't grab any glory We're the kids in America We're the kids in America Everybody live for the music-go-round 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 coming I warn you We're the kids in America We're the kids in America Everybody live for the music-go-round
