The Kids - Jamiroquai

Now we're getting nasty.

Everybody's talking about the kids

The kids got funky soul and groove emotion

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

They're always morethan likely to abuse it

Everybody's talking about the kids

It's taking time for you to realise

Now hunger turns to anger in our eyes

I say the revolution will be televised

Yes it will, Gil

Everybody's talking about the kids

The kids needs space to get their heads in place

And every day this world we have to face

I just can't seem to find my proper place.

Kids get down

Stormy weather

Fifteen years of royal pleasure

Kids get down underground

Everybody dance to the funky sound.

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

Everybody's talking about school

But I get more pleasure breakin' 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.

Kids get down

Stormy weather

Fifteen years of royal pleasure

Kids get down, celebrate

Now we're going to kick the thing we hate

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

Kids get down, pressurized

To live the life that you devised

Kids get, celebrate

Life's too short to complicate.
