The Kids Are Alright Songtext
I wonder what the world before you looked like
I guess we'll never know (Yeah)
Losin' our minds, livin' on borrowed time
But at least we got our phones
You tell me not to do as you do but to do as you say
Sayin' this no use with the youth these days
All these thoughts and prayers feelin' so cliche
You got us here
I guess we'll never know (Yeah)
Losin' our minds, livin' on borrowed time
But at least we got our phones
You tell me not to do as you do but to do as you say
Sayin' this no use with the youth these days
All these thoughts and prayers feelin' so cliche
You got us here
You set fire to the house
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
Cut the brakes to the car
Said "Get in, you're learnin' to drive"
Tied our hands behind our backs
Called it a fair fight, it's fine
We're fine
The kids are alright (The kids are alright, the kids are alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright (The kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright
We'll build a tower with the bricks that you threw
Oh stack them, one by one (Yeah)
Climb to the top and enjoy the view
You'll never see it you’ll be gone
You tell me not to do as you do but to do as you say
Sayin' this no use with the youth these days
All these thoughts and prayers feelin' so cliche
You got us here
You set fire to the house
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
Cut the brakes to the car
Said "Get in, you're learnin' to drive"
Tied our hands behind our backs
Called it a fair fight, it's fine (It's fine)
We're fine (We're fine)
The kids are alright (The kids are alright, the kids are alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright (The kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright
Grow up and gave up
Then fucked up, said “don’t forget you”
Grow up and gave up
Then fucked up, said “don’t forget you”
You set fire to the house
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
Cut the brakes to the car
Said "Get in, you're learnin' to drive"
Tied our hands behind our backs
Called it a fair fight, it's fine (It's fine)
We're fine (We're fine)
The kids are alright (The kids are alright, the kids are alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright)
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
Cut the brakes to the car
Said "Get in, you're learnin' to drive"
Tied our hands behind our backs
Called it a fair fight, it's fine
We're fine
The kids are alright (The kids are alright, the kids are alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright (The kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright
We'll build a tower with the bricks that you threw
Oh stack them, one by one (Yeah)
Climb to the top and enjoy the view
You'll never see it you’ll be gone
You tell me not to do as you do but to do as you say
Sayin' this no use with the youth these days
All these thoughts and prayers feelin' so cliche
You got us here
You set fire to the house
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
Cut the brakes to the car
Said "Get in, you're learnin' to drive"
Tied our hands behind our backs
Called it a fair fight, it's fine (It's fine)
We're fine (We're fine)
The kids are alright (The kids are alright, the kids are alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright (The kids are alright)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The kids are alright
Grow up and gave up
