The Kids

Jamiroquai Jamiroquai

Ha, 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 more than likely to abuse it

Everybody's talking about the kids
It's taking time for you to realise
How 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 need 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 royal 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 more 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're going down sucker)

Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now
Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now
Everybody's talking 'bout the
Everybody's talking 'bout the
Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now
Everybody's talking

I hear people talking 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
Ooh, the kids got funky soul

Kids get down
Stormy weather
Fifteen years of royal pleasure
Watch me now, watch it
Kids get down
Celebrate
Now we're gonna kick the thing we hate
Watch me now

Because the kids got funky soul
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
You know the kids got funky soul
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I said the kids got funky soul

Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now
Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now
Everybody's talking 'bout the
Everybody's talking 'bout the kids now

Yeah, keep on talking, yeah
Better keep on moving, yeah
Gotta keep on grooving, yeah
Ya gotta keep on talking, yeah
People keep on moving, 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 royal pleasure
Watch me now
Kids get down

Celebrate
Now we'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
You know the kids got funky soul
