The Kids

(albüm: The Return Of The Space Cowboy - 1994)

Ha!

Now we're getting nasty!

Everybody's talking 'bout the kids
The kids got funky soul and groove emotion
But if you don't give the kids the chance to use it
Well, they're always more than likely to abuse it

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

Everybody's talking 'bout 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
Cause it's like this

Kids get down, stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure (watch me now)
Kids get down, underground
Everybody dance to the funky sound (watch me now)
Because the kids got funky soul

Everybody's talking 'bout 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 breaking all the rules
Cause lesson one begins with 'Life is cruel'
Well, I guess I'm just an educated fool

Everybody's talking 'bout 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 going down, sucka!

Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now
Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now
Everybody's talking 'bout the, everybody's talking about the
Everybody's talking 'bout 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 kids got funky soul
I said, the kids got funky soul
The kids got funky soul

Kids get down, stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure (watch me now)
Watch me
Kids get down, celebrate
Now we're going to kick the thing we hate (watch me now)
Cause the kids got funky soul

Ah, ha, ha, ha... ha!
You know the kids got funky soul, yeah!

Ah, ha, ha, ha... ha, ha
I said the kids got funky soul, yeah

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

Hey!

Keep on talking, yeah
And keep on moving, yeah
Gotta keep on grooving, yeah
Gotta keep on talking, yeah
Keep on
Keep on moving, yeah

Everybody's talking 'bout 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 (watch me now)
Kids get down, celebrate
Now we're gonna kick the thing we hate (watch me now)
Watch me!
Kids get down, pressurized
To live the life that you devised (watch me now)
Kids get down, celebrate
Life's too short to complicate (watch me now)
Cause the kids got funky soul
