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 more
than likely to abuse it.
Kids get down
Stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal
pleasure.
Everybody's talking about the kids
It's taking time for
you to realize
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
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
The kids needs space
to get their heads in place
And every day this
world we have to face
Well I just can't seem
to find my proper place
Kids get down,
celebrate
Now we gonna kick the
thing we hate.
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.
Kids get down, pressurized
To live the life that
you devised
Kids get, celebrate
Life's too short to
complicate.
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
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.
