THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT LUCKY SEVEN — 2007 [Intro] Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh! Turn it up, turn it up! Yeah! [Verse 1] We got no money in our pockets tonight But we’ve got four old tires and a green light Mom said, “Be home before the streetlights glow” We laughed and said, “Yeah, sure, we’ll let you know” Got a beat-up car and a radio Windows down everywhere we go We’re singing songs that we don’t even know But nobody cares, so let the speakers blow [Pre-Chorus] They keep saying we’re wasting our time Like we’re supposed to have our whole lives in line Maybe we’re reckless, maybe we’re wrong But we’ve been waiting all night for this song! [Chorus] HEY! HEY! THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! We’re gonna tear up the town tonight HEY! HEY! WE’RE STILL ALIVE! Got nothing to lose and nowhere to hide They say we’re trouble, they say we’re lost But we don’t care what it costs HEY! HEY! THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! Yeah, we’re gonna be just fine! Whoa-oh-oh! The kids are alright! Whoa-oh-oh! We’re gonna be just fine! [Verse 2] We’ve got old skateboards underneath the stairs Cheap sunglasses and tangled hair A hundred pictures from a summer ago And a thousand places we still wanna go We don’t know where we’re gonna be Ten years from now, or who we’ll meet But tonight we’re seventeen and free And that’s enough for you and me [Pre-Chorus] They keep telling us to settle down But we’re too busy shaking this town Maybe tomorrow we’ll figure it out But tonight we’re screaming it loud! [Chorus] HEY! HEY! THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! We’re gonna tear up the town tonight HEY! HEY! WE’RE STILL ALIVE! Got nothing to lose and nowhere to hide They say we’re trouble, they say we’re lost But we don’t care what it costs HEY! HEY! THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! Yeah, we’re gonna be just fine! [Bridge] If you feel like you’re nobody— HEY! If you’re sick of being somebody— HEY! If they tell you that you’re going nowhere— HEY! HEY! Tell ‘em we’ll meet you there! We’re not perfect! We’re not saints! We’re just trying to find our place! So raise your hands! Raise ‘em high! WE’RE NOT DEAD—WE’RE STILL ALIVE! [Breakdown] ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Everybody scream! THE KIDS! ARE ALRIGHT! THE KIDS! ARE ALRIGHT! [Final Chorus] HEY! HEY! THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! We’re gonna tear up the town tonight HEY! HEY! WE’RE STILL ALIVE! Got nothing to lose and nowhere to hide They say we’re trouble, they say we’re lost But we’re worth every single cost HEY! HEY! THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! Yeah, we’re gonna be just fine! HEY! HEY! THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! Even when everything goes wrong HEY! HEY! WE’RE STILL ALIVE! Turn the radio up and sing along! Whoa-oh-oh! We’re young and we’re alive! Whoa-oh-oh! The kids are alright! [Outro] The sun is coming up But we’re not going home… THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! [Guitars ring out as the crowd keeps chanting:] “HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!”
