Molly Nilsson - Kids Today lyrics

You see them hanging around
Alone in every crowd, staring at the ground
In their ugly clothes, their stupid tunes
This phase will be over soon

They’re just kids today kids today
They're just kids today

Well, you better be good to them
When you’re older
Then you’re gonna need their help
In some elderly home and you’re all alone
And you can’t even wipe yourself

Did I ever tell you the
Story how everything came about?
I guess it would have been a teen by now
I would have lived some other life

Kids today kids today
Kids today (now let the solo take it away)

Where do you see yourself in fifty years?
Who, me? Oh, I’ll probably be dead
I already had my time, so save your tears
You’re gonna need them for
A hundred years ahead

Yeah, kids today who’s gonna save the day?
Kids today who’s gonna lead the way?
Kids today the future’s for the brave
Kids today

A female President of the USA
And a working class CEO one day
Are kids today
And she might look like a little girl
But look out, boys
She’s gonna save the world kids today
Still today it’s just a silent shout
But guess one day who’s gonna spell it out?
Kids today
Now you’re just a teen with a dirty mouth
But, I bet one day you’re gonna make me proud

Yeah, kids today kids today
Kids today kids today
