[Verse]
You see them hanging around
Alone in every crowd, staring at the ground
In their ugly clothes, their stupid tunes
This phase will be over soon

[Chorus]
They’re just kids today
Kids today
They're just kids today

[Verse]
Well, you better be good to them
When you’re older, then you’re gonna need their help
In some elderly home and you’re all alone
And you can’t even wipe yourself

[Bridge]
Did I ever tell you the story how everything came about?
I guess it would have been a teen by now
I would have lived some other life

[Chorus]
Kids today
Kids today
Kids today
(now let the solo take it away!)
[Verse]
Where do you see yourself in fifty years?
Who, me? Oh, I’ll probably be dead
I already had my time, so save your tears
You’re gonna need them for a hundred years ahead

[Chorus]
Yeah, kids today
Who’s gonna save the day?
Kids today
Who’s gonna lead the way?
Kids today
The future’s for the brave
Kids today

[Verse]
A female President of the USA
And a working class CEO one day
Are kids today
And she might look like a little girl
But look out, boys, she’s gonna save the world
Kids today
Still today it’s just a silent shout
But guess one day who’s gonna spell it out?
Kids today
Now you’re just a teen with a dirty mouth
But I bet one day you’re gonna make me proud
[Chorus]
Yeah, kids today
Kids today
Kids today
Kids today
