Lyrics:

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,
Well they're always more than 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.

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,
Well I just can't seem to find my proper place,

'Cause it's like this:
Kids get down,
Stormy weather,
Fifteen years of raw pleasure.
Watch me now.
Kids get down, underground,
Everybody dance to the funky sound.
Watch me now, because the kids got funky soul.

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.
Give the dog a bone.
Everybody's talking about school,
But I get my pleasure breakin' all the rules,
'Cause 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 going down sucker.

Everybody's talkin' about the kids now,
Everybody's talkin' about the kids now,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids now.
Everybody's talkin',
Hear them people talkin' about the kids,
Kids got funky soul, come on now.

The kids got funky soul.
You know the kids got funky soul, yeah.
I said the kids got funky soul.
The kids got funky soul, yeah.

Kids get down,
Stormy weather,
Fifteen years of raw pleasure,
Watch me now.
Watch me.
Kids get down, celebrate,
Now we're gonna kick the thing we hate,
Watch me now,
Because the kids got funky soul.

You know the kids got funky soul, yeah.
I said the kids got funky soul, yeah.

Everybody's talkin' about the kids now,
Everybody's talkin' about the kids now,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the,
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the kids now, hey.
Keep on talkin', yeah.
Gotta keep on movin', yeah.

Gotta keep on groovin', yeah,
Gotta keep on talkin', yeah.
Keep on...
Keep on movin', yeah.

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 raw pleasure,
Watch me now.
Kids get down, celebrate
Now they're gonna kick the thing we hate,
Watch me now.
Watch me.

Kids get down, pressurized,
To live the life that you devised,
Watch me now.
Kids get down, celebrate,
Life's too short to complicate.
Watch me now,
Because the kids got funky soul.
