The Kids Aren't Alright
Stuck in the jet wash
Bad trip I couldnt get off
And maybe I bit off more than I could chew
And overhead of the aqua blue
Fall to your knees bring on the rapture
Blessed be the boys time cant capture
On film or between the sheets I always fall from your window to the pitch black streets
And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade
Former heroes who quit too late
Just wanna fill up the trophy case again
And in the end
Id do it all again
I think youre my best friend
Dont you know that the kids arent all, kids arent alright?
Ill be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Dont you know that the kids arent all, kids arent alright?
Im not passive, but aggressive
Take note, its not impressive
Empty your sadness
Like youre dumping your purse on my bedroom floor
We put your curse in reverse
And its our time now if you want it to be
More the war like the carnival bear set free
And your love is anemic and I cant believe
That you couldnt see it coming from me
And I still feel that rush in my veins
It twists my head just a bit too thin
And the people I see in those old photographs Ive seen are dead
And in the end
Id do it all again
I think youre my best friend
Dont you know that the kids arent all, kids arent alright?
Ill be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Dont you know that the kids arent all, kids arent alright?
And sometimes I just want to sit around and gaze at my shoes, yeah
And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon
And in the end
Id do it all again
I think youre my best friend
Dont you know that the kids arent all, kids arent alright?
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Dont you know that the kids arent all, kids arent alright?
