Maybe it is dangerous to invite to invite a stranger into the room with us But nothings gonna light up and I'm not scared at all When there's no more money in politics They'll be tearing down the unity brick by brick There'll be city's running clinics about where we have been With every self proclaimed historian You know I know you don't want this you don't need this I'm Shining the light on the darkest places You know and I know we have to face this now We have to face this now The days are growing dark what are we gonna do The countrys in a bag when I turn on the tube So maybe I'll just wake up in the afternoon(whoa) You can change the channel on your tv Push all the little buttons till your fingers bleed But you won't change me(whoa) There's nothing I would do for you cause you don't wanna see You know I know you don't want this you can't dismiss Shining the light on the darkest places You know and I know we have to face this now We have to face this now Shining the light on the darkest places Putting the word out we have to face this now We have to face this now A generation taking numbers making calls A shadow grew accross my bedroom wall Shining the light on the darkest places You know and I know we have to face this now We have to face this now Shining the light on the darkest places Putting the word out We have to face this now

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 feel the heat, But it's soothing, heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town. Down town the young ones are going Down town the young ones are growing We're the kids in America (whoa-o) We're the kids in America (whoa-o) 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 Hot-shot, give me no problems Much later baby you'll be saying never mind 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 (whoa-o) We're the kids in America (whoa-o) Everybody live for the music-go-round La-la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-la-laa sing! La-la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-la-laa Come closer, honey that's better Got to get a brand new experience Feeling right Oh don't try to stop me baby Hold me tight Outside a new day is dawning Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere I don't want to go New York to east California There's a new wave coming I warn you We're the kids in America (whoa-o) We're the kids in America (whoa-o) Everybody live for the music-go-round La-la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-la-laa sing!
