The Kids

Jamiroquai

Written by Jay Kay and Toby Smith





Now we're getting nasty



Everybody is talking about the kids

The kids have funky soul and groove emotion

But if you don't give the kids the chance to use it

They're always more than likely to abuse it



Kids get down, stormy weather, fifteen years of royal pleasure.

Everybody's talking about the kids

And it's taking time for you to realise

Now hunger turns to anger in your eyes

I say the revolution will be televised, Yes it will Gil...



Everybody's talking about the kids

Kids get down, stormy weather, fifteen years of royal pleasure.

Kids get down underground, evrybody dance to the funky sound.



Everybody's talking about the kids

The kids need 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

Kids get down, celebrate, now we're gonna kick the thing we hate



Everybody's talking about 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.



Kids get down, pressurized, to live the life that you devised

Kids get down, celebrate, life is to short to complicate



Everybody's talking about school

But I get more pleasure breaking all the rules

Cos lesson one begins with "Life is Cruel"

Well I guess I'm just an educated fool



Everybody's talking about 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're going down sucker!



Everybody's talking about the kids now

Everybody's talking about the kids now



The kids got funky soul

Everybody's talking about 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

Kids get down celebrate, now we're gonna kick the thing we hate.
