Kids Don't Listen

Can I ever find my way?
Will I have time left to play?
Can she rise above the rest?
Will he prove that he’s the best?
It was a nuclear summer
Time seemed to slow around this town
Until you came into my life-
Can’t start to say how much you changed it…

The bells have rung and now it’s time to celebrate
Jump-start the day and let love in- there’s no time to hate

So there I sit
Locked inside my mind
It’s been a ball-
But I’m just being sarcastic
Haven’t you heard?
Kids don’t listen!
Yeah, yeah, right out of this oak tree…

Play by the rules to gain my trust
It’s in your hands, now don’t you break it!
I won’t keep you from your life
I’ve got regrets and I’ll stay away…

Now’s the time, oh, the time’s not now
The time was then, we passed it up

So here we are
Screamin’ at the top of our lungs now
I came
I saw
I conquered
And yeah, I couldn’t be prouder!
Let’s hear it again:
Kids don’t listen!
Hey, yeah-
Right out of your stereo!
