Kids

Jimmy's too turned up to know
If it's okay to go home
Somebody's worrying
Saying, "Should we let his mother know?"

Here comes the pain in his head like she's waiting
Ashing a lit cigarette while he's shaking, oh-oh
But maybe with some time, she'll realize that
He's gotta find it out, and you'll know
The kids will be all right

Let the kids come out now
Give them a chance to find themselves now
They're gonna show you how
They're gonna show you how
To not be so proud

Rosie's got a scene now
And it's just the place she'd rather be
People tryna place her down
Call it a phase, but she's more grown than that these days

She don't give a damn what they say, you best leave it
She's doing fine anyway, they'll see it, oh-oh
Things ain't always bright now, but God knows she's trying
While they hide behind it all, so trust me
The kids will be all right

Let the kids come out now
Give them a chance to find themselves now
They're gonna show you how
They're gonna show you how
To not be so proud

Don't be the fool like they say, it's ambition
They haven't lost what it means to just listen, woah-woah
But give a little silence, maybe just try it out
Hear what they're crying out and say
The kids will be all right

Let the kids come out now
Give them a chance to find themselves now
They're gonna show you how
They're gonna show you how
To not be so proud

Let the kids come out now
Give them a chance to find themselves now
They're gonna show you how
They're gonna show you how
To not be so proud
