The Kids Are Alright

(albüm: Honeydew - 2020)

I wonder what the world before you looked like
I guess we'll never know (yeah)
Losing our minds living on borrowed time
But hey, at least we got our phones

Tell me not to do as you do but to do as you say
Saying it's no use with the youth these days
All these thoughts and prayers feeling so cliché
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 learning 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

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 (mmh)

Tell me not to do as you do but to do as you say
Saying it's no use with the youth these days
All these thoughts and prayers feeling so cliché
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 learning 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

You grew up
And gave up
Then fucked up
Said, "Tough luck"
Yeah, you grew up
And gave up
Then fucked up
Said, "Tough luck"
Yeah, 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 learning 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
