The Kids

Lyrics

[Intro] Ha! Now we're getting nasty! [Verse 1] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids The kids got funky soul and groovy motion But if you don't give the kids a chance to use it Well, they're always more than likely to abuse it Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids It's takin' time for you to realize Now hunger turns to anger in their eyes I say the revolution will be televised - a-yes, it will Everybody's talking 'bout the kids The kids need space to get their heads in place Oh, and every day, this world we have to face Well, I just can't seem to find my proper place Cause it's like this... [Chorus] Kids get down, stormy weather Fifteen years of royal pleasure Watch me now (watch me now) Kids get down, underground Everybody dance to the funky sound Watch me now Because the kids got funk and soul [Verse 2] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids It won't be long before we get our own And every kid can truly feel at home I told ya you should give the dog a bone - give the dog a bone Everybody's talkin' 'bout school But I get my pleasure breakin' all the rules Cause lesson one begins with 'Life is cruel' Well, I guess I'm just an educated fool, haha Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids Mom and Dad make efforts to excuse it Government officials will confuse it Members of the bench will try to prove it But you goin' down, sucka! Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids now Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids now Everybody's talkin' 'bout the, everybody's talkin' 'bout the Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids now Everybody's talking Hear them people talking about the kids The kids got funky soul, come on now The kids got funky soul You know the kids got funky soul, yeah I said, the kids got funky soul Ooh-oh, the kids got funky soul [Chorus] Kids get down, stormy weather Fifteen years of royal pleasure Watch me now, watch me Kids get down, celebrate Now we're gonna kick the thing we hate Watch me now Cause the kids got funk and soul [Instrumental break] Ah, ha, ha, ha... ha! You know the kids got funky soul, yeah! Ah, ha, ha, ha... ha, ha I said the kids got funky soul, yeah Everybody's talking about the kids now Everybody's talking about the kids now Everybody's talking about the, everybody's talking about the Everybody's talking about the, everybody's talking about the Everybody's talking about the, everybody's talking about the kids now Hey! Keep on talkin', yeah And keep on movin', yeah Gotta keep on groovin', yeah Gotta keep on talkin', yeah Keep on Keep on movin', yeah [Verse 3] Everybody's talking 'bout high But kids get high to satisfy For reaching out to touch the sky Is all I can identify And you know why [Chorus] Kids get down, stormy weather Fifteen years of royal pleasure (watch me now) Kids get down, celebrate Now we're gonna kick the thing we hate (watch me now) Watch me! Kids get down, pressurized To live the life that you devised (watch me now) Kids get down, celebrate Life's too short to complicate (watch me now) Cause the kids got funky soul
