The kids hit the street,
marching to a new drum
under one groove,
we living under one sun
you know we can t lose ,
if we re together as one,
together we will not fall,
if we all stand tall

we ll rewrite the laws,
start a true revolution
the times are changing,
it s time for retribution,
and through all the confusion,
and fears that we re losin
we gotta keep goin ,
on our feet keep movin
it s time, to open up your mind,
check the future
accept the internet
or become a lost loser,
on top the cage
against the machine we ll rage
open up the book
and turn it to a new page.
turn a lot of heads and make the parents ask why
live and let live, don t let your only soul die
how can we know it if we never even try
come on, I said the kids wanna ride

the kids wanna play, all day and all night
so if you wanna party, yeah you got the right
we might break some rules and we might act like fools
but part of being young is just having some fun

we live in different times,
you gotta read the signs,
say ya piece, speak ya mind,
move ahead, don t resign
it s lookin up the sun will shine
we'll find some salvation,
the time has come to stand up,
time to fight for what you're makin'
the rules were made for breakin' so it's time to awaken,
stop the hatin' and start collaboratin'
we not taking for granted all the roads that were paved
the foundation s laid, so respect what's been made.
but from our fears we ll never run,
we ll speak our minds until we re done
never scared of what s to come,
rock the mic for everyone
with the goal to rock your soul
and make the kids lose control
we got an X to mark the spot
so all the kids show what you got..

the kids wanna play, all day and all night
so if you wanna party, yeah you got the right
we might break some rules and we might act like fools
but part of being young is just having some fun
all day, all night ,all day, the kids they wanna play 2x

say it to your teachers , tell it to your preachers
tell em that our generation s takin over the nation
we not stoppin , yeah we got this boat rockin
locking down the planet so you better make way

the kids wanna play, all day and all night
so if you wanna party, yeah you got the right
we might break some rules and we might act like fools
but part of being young is just having some fun
all day, all night ,all day, the kids they wanna play 2x
