Chorus:
D#
You know the kids are alright
G#
You know the kids are alright
Gm
I got the taste on my tongue
A#
And air in my lungs
D#
The kids are alright
D#
Oh darling, oh darling, I'm skippin' school
G#
Hidin' from your mama but you ain't no fool
Gm A#
Sailin' through your classes like an ocean cruise,
D#
oh yeah
Oh heaven, oh heaven, where did you go?
Dancing to the rhythm of the radio
Signal's getting weaker as I'm getting old,
oh yeah
Chorus:
You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I've got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright
Oh my little heaven, yeah we can dream
Shining out the memories for the silver screen
Scattering around me like a colour scheme, oh yeah
Oh mama, oh mama I'm up all night
Sweating, yeah I'm climbing up the farenheits
Coasting through the city like a satellite, oh yeah
Chorus:
You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright
Oh horror, oh horror, what did you see?
Monsters in the closet and they just won't leave
Clogging up your arteries with memories, oh yeah
The skeleton living inside your head
Rattling and gasping, coming up for breath
Maybe in your memory I'm still not dead, oh yeah
Chorus:
You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright
