The kids in town don't care about the rules you've been making They only feel the beating of their hearts They're all hip to the lives that you've been taking Where you take them They'll take their time but they'll take you apart But tonight the kids ain't alright The alley cats brace their fists for destruction Lord For it seems to me that they've been warned They are the lives of your construction Where you touch them Out of your hands their burdens born But tonight no the kids ain't alright Tell me what's your fascination With money greed and all you've done And when you reach your destination Will it be worth it all your fun And tonight no the kids ain't alright
