The Kids Are Alright

You know the kids are alright

You know the kids are alright

I got the taste on my tongue

And air in my lungs

The kids are alright

Oh darling, oh darling, I'm skippin' school

Hidin' from your mama, but you ain't no fool

Sailin' through your classes like an ocean cruise, oh yeah

Oh heaven, oh heaven, where did you go?

Dancin' to the rhythm of the radio

Signal's gettin' weaker as I'm gettin' old, oh yeah

You know the kids are alright

You know the kids are alright

I got the taste on my tongue

And air in my lungs

The kids are alright

Oh my little heaven, yeah, we can dream

Shinin' out the memories for the silver screen

Scatterin' around me like a color scheme, oh yeah

Oh mama, oh mama, I'm up all night

Sweatin', yeah, I'm climbin' up the Fahrenheits

Coastin' through the city like a satellite, oh yeah

You know the kids are alright

You know the kids are alright

I got the taste on my tongue

And air in my lungs

The kids are alright

Oh horror, oh horror, what did you see?

Monsters in the closet and they just won't leave

Cloggin' up your arteries with memories, oh yeah

The skeletons are livin' inside your head

Rattlin' and gaspin', comin' up for breath

Maybe in your memory I'm still not dead, oh yeah

You know the kids are alright

You know the kids are alright

I got the taste on my tongue

And air in my lungs

The kids are alright
