Lyrics:

Ha, now we're getting nastyEverybody's talking about the kidsThe kids got funky soul and groove emotionBut if you don't give the kids the chance to use itThey're always more than likely to abuse itEverybody's talking about the kidsIt's taking time for you to realiseHow hunger turns to anger in our eyesI say the revolution will be televisedYes it willEverybody's talking about the kidsThe kids need space to get their heads in placeAnd every day this world we have to faceWell I just can't seem to find my proper place'Cause it's like thisKids get downStormy weatherFifteen years of royal pleasureWatch me nowKids get downUndergroundEverybody dance to the funky soundWatch me nowBecause the kids got funky soulEverybody's talking about the kidsIt won't be long before we get our ownAnd every kid can truly feel at homeI told ya you should give the dog a bone (Give the dog a bone)Everybody's talking about schoolBut 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 (Ha ha ha ha)Everybody's talking about the kidsMom and Dad make efforts to excuse itGovernment officials will confuse itMembers of the bench will try to prove it (You're going down sucker)Everybody's talking 'bout the kids nowEverybody's talking 'bout the kids nowEverybody's talking 'bout theEverybody's talking 'bout theEverybody's talking 'bout the kids nowEverybody's talkingI hear people talking about the kidsKids got funky soulCome on nowThe kids got funky soulYou know the kids got funky soul yeahI said the kids got funky soulOoh, the kids got funky soulKids get downStormy weatherFifteen years of royal pleasureWatch me now, watch itKids get downCelebrateNow we're gonna kick the thing we hateWatch me nowBecause the kids got funky soulAh ha ha ha ha, haYou know the kids got funky soulAh ha ha ha ha, ha haI said the kids got funky soulEverybody's talking 'bout the kids nowEverybody's talking 'bout the kids nowEverybody's talking 'bout the x5Everybody's talking 'bout the kids nowYeah, Keep on talking, yeahBetter keep on moving, yeahGotta keep on grooving, yeahYa gotta keep on talking, yeahPeople keep on moving, yeahEverybody's talking about highBut kids get high to satisfyFor reaching out to touch the skyIs all I can identifyAnd you know whyKids get downStormy weatherFifteen years of royal pleasureWatch me nowKids get downCelebrateNow we're gonna kick the thing we hateWatch me now, watch meKids get downPressurizedTo live the life that you devisedWatch me nowKids get downCelebrateLife's too short to complicateWatch me nowYou know the kids got funky soul
