Now we`re getting nasty.
Everybody`s talking about the kids
The kids got funky soul and groove emotion
But if you don`t give the kids the chance to use it
They`re always morethan likely to abuse it
Everybody`s talking about the kids
It`s taking time for you to realise
Now hunger turns to anger in our eyes
I say the revolution will be televised
Yes it will, Gil
Everybody`s talking about the kids
The kids needs space to get their heads in place
And every day this world we have to face
I just can`t seem to find my proper place.
Kids get down
Stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure
Kids get down underground
Everybody dance to the funky sound.
Everybody`s talking about 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
Everybody`s talking about school
But I get more pleasure breakin` all the rules
Cos lesson one begins with Life Is Cruel
Well I guess I`m just an educated fool
Everybody`s talking about the kids
Mom and Dad make efforts to excuse it
Government officials will confuse it
Members of the bench will try to prove it
You`re going down sucker.
Everybody`s talking about the kids now
Everybody`s talking about the kids now
The kids got funky soul.
Kids get down
Stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure
Kids get down, celebrate
Now we`re going to kick the thing we hate
Everybody`s talking about high
But kids get high to satisfy
For reaching out to touch the sky
Is all I can identify, and you know why.
Kids get down
Stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure
Kids get down, celebrate
Now we`re gonna kick the thing we hate
Kids get down, pressurized
To live the life that you devised
Kids get, celebrate
Life`s too short to complicate.
