Modern Kids

Sunburnt in the schoolyard With your head in the clouds And your light up sneakers Planted on the ground Best friends and a football And they're counting down One mississippi two mississippi three mississippi Flying like a missile Headed straight for his mouth Looking like a piñata Bloody teeth on the ground Punches hit your stomach And you're rolling around One mississippi two mississippi three mississippi We're born innocent Now we're taking bets On which one of us is going down next We know, we know We know more than you think we know We know, we know We're the modern kids Summer in the catskills With no parents around There's a girl with a lip ring Ya seen her walking around Daydream and you wonder How her discman sounds You're getting dizzy Sneaking off into the woods Hiding in the trees Fumbling in her fanny pack Your heart's a jumping bean Asking "have you ever smoked From a jesus piece?" You're getting dizzy We're the modern kids we're the masses Making out in cars after classes Bracelets studs and pins from the mall We don't ask for much but we want it all
