kids lyrics

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

Everybody's talking about the kids
It's taking time for you to realise
Now hunger turns to anger in our eyes
I say the revolution will be televised
Yes it will

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, stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure
Kids get down underground
Everybody dance to the funky sound
Because the kids got a funky soul

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
Give the dog a bone

Everybody's talking about school
But I get more pleasure breakin' all the rules
'Cause 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
Everybody's talking about the, everybody's talking about the
Everybody's talking about the kids now
Everybody's talking, hear the people talking about the kids

The kid's got funky soul, come on now
The kid's got funky soul
You know,the kid's got funky soul
I said, the kid's got funky soul
The kid's got funky soul

Kids get down, stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure
Kids get down, celebrate
Now we're going to kick the thing we hate
'Cause the kids got a funky soul

You know,the kid's got funky soul, I said, the kid's got funky soul
Everybody's talking about the kids now
Everybody's talking about the kids now
Everybody's talking about the, everybody's talking about the
Everybody's talking about the, everybody's talking about the
Everybody's talking about the, everybody's talking about the kids now

Got to keep on talkin', got to keep on movin'
Got to keep on groovin', got to keep on talkin'
Keep on, keep on movin'

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

Kids get down, pressurized
To live the life that you devised
Kids get down, celebrate
Life's too short to complicate
'Cause the kids got a funky soul
