We Are the Kids Lyrics

Don't wanna wait till the mornin'
Don't wanna wait till the mornin' comes
You know the bigger picture changes when your colors run

I got my hand in my pocket
And there's a diamond at my finger tips
Don't wanna wait till the mornin' you and I, we live for this

I rip holes in my shirt
There's mud on my shoes
There's sun on my skin, I am brand new
We shout at the cops, we howl at the moon
Just a matter of time
Don't you get it

We are the kids that you never can kill
You never can kill, you never can kill
We say that we won't but you know that we will
You know that we will keep on

Don't wanna wait for permission
We got our own fresh set of rules
We take that old school fashion
Shape it into something new

You got your hand in my pocket
You like to dance with my finger tips
Don't gotta wait for permission, you and I, we live for this
You know we live for this

We are the kids that you never can kill
You never can kill, you never can kill
We say that we won't but you know that we will
You know that we will keep on

I said, we are the kids that you never can kill
You never can kill, you never can kill
We say that we won't but you know that we will
You know that we will keep on

Lost boys, lost girls, high tides, wild animals
We won't live forever
Hand over the future, hand over the future
Hand over the future, hand over the future now, now, now, now

I rip holes in my shirt
There's mud on my shoes,
There's sun on my skin, I am brand new
We shout at the cops, we howl at the moon
Just a matter of time
Don't you get it

We are the kids that you never can kill
You never can kill, you never can kill
We say that we won't but you know that we will
You know that we will keep on

I said we are the kids that you never can kill
You never can kill, you never can kill
We say that we won't but you know that we will
You know that we will keep on

Come on, hand over the future, hand over the future
Hand over the future, hand over the future
Lost boys, lost girls
Come on, hand over the future, hand over the future now, now, now, now

What is the Meaning of We Are the Kids?

In a defiant anthem of youthful exuberance and resilience, the lyrics encapsulate the spirit of a generation unwilling to conform or be subdued. The repeated assertion that "we are the kids that you never can kill" symbolizes an indomitable will and unyielding vitality. The imagery of ripping holes in shirts, muddy shoes, and howling at the moon evokes a raw, untamed existence that rejects societal norms. This song celebrates living in the moment, creating new paths without waiting for permission, and embracing change as a constant force. The call to "hand over the future" reflects a demand for agency and control over their destiny. Ultimately, it is an ode to the enduring power of youth to challenge, innovate, and persist against all odds.
