The Kids Aren't Alright
Stuck in the jet washBad trip I couldn't get offAnd maybe I bit off more than I could chewAnd overhead of the aqua blue
Fall to your knees bring on the raptureBlessed be the boys time can't captureOn film or between the sheetsI always fall from your windowTo the pitch black streets
And with the black banners raisedAs the crooked smiles fadeFormer heroes who quit too lateJust wanna fill up the trophy case again
And in the endI'd do it all againI think you're my best friendDon't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alrightI'll be yoursWhen it rains it poursStay thirsty I'll be fineDon't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
I'm not passive but aggressiveTake note, it's not impressiveEmpty your sadnessLike you're dumping your purseOn my bedroom floorWe put your curse in reverse
And it's our time now if you want to to beMore the war like the carnival bears set freeAnd your love is anemic and I can't believeThat you couldn't see it coming from me
And I still feel that rush in my veinsIt twists my head just a bit too thinAll those people I seeIn those old photographs I've seen are dead
And in the endI'd do it all againI think you're my best friendDon't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alrightI'll be yoursWhen it rains it poursStay thirsty I'll be fineDon't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
And sometimes I just want to sit aroundAnd gaze at my shoes yeahAnd let your dirty sadness fill me upJust like a balloon
And in the endI'd do it all againI think you're my best friendDon't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alrightI'll be yoursWhen it rains it poursStay thirsty I'll be fineDon't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright.
