ife felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune
?Til you made me out for a fool
Left with nothing to do
can't forget about you
With my heart in my heart
Pack my bags, leave my memories with you
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?
Why me?
Why me?
Why me?
You took all the love I gave up selfishly
Why me?
Trapped in your space
Never thought I could face
Going one step beyond
When I knew deep inside I was strong
Now I know what it takes
can't repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along
it'll give me what I?ll call my own
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?
Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town (downtown)
The young ones are going
(Downtown) the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey, not a chance
Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later, baby, you'll be saying nevermind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind (kind hearts)
Don't make a new story
(Kind hearts) don't grab any glory
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la, sing
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la
Come closer, honey, that's better
Got to get a brand-new experience, feeling right
Oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go, baby
New York to east California
There's a new wave coming, I warn ya
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody lives for the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la, sing
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
Hmm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-m
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
I've gotta see you moving fast, see you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last, never fade away
Gotta see the lights above, make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all afire, set it all alight
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man
I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
I don't know what I'm gonna do, maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all afire, gotta treat you right
I can see the flashing lights, lit before your love
Gotta hear the thunder roar, coming from above
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man, I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Huh!
I can see the stars, but I can't see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me, yeah
I can see the stars, but I can't see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Hoh!
See ya
Keep it going and keep it ringing out, let it ring out
Hey, doc
Okay, turn it off now
They tried to catch us dancin' on the line
They say we took it way too far this time
They gave us no breaks here, but we made our own I swear
I do, I do believe in you, after all that we've been through
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you), and everything that we do
We used to run with the dangerous crowd
Where the flame was hot and burning out
We knew we'd have to give, it hit us where we lived
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you)
After all that we've been through together
You took away my darkest nights (I do believe in you)
When no one else could see the light
Running blind day after day, some things never want to change, ooh
We knew we'd have to give, it hit us where we lived
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you), can't you see
After all that we've been through
You took away my darkest nights (I do believe in you)
When no one else could see the light, yeah
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you), and everything that we do
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you), and everything that we do
She won't tell me lies
She want to see me smile, yeah
Every time you let it show
I didn't want to know
By the time I had lost my soul
You had to go
She come, in disguise
I want to say goodbye, yeah
Every time I let it show
You didn't want to know
By the time I had lost my soul
You had to go
You had to go
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
She got her own way
Same as yesterday, yeah
Every time you let it show
I didn't want to know
By the time I had sold my soul
You had to go
You had to go
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
Still not a crime to sing my song

In the morning, reading the paper
Read the front page to the back page
Welcome to the nuclear age
No more time for vicious outrage
Same old madness same old madness
Same old madness same old madness
Riots in London, riots in Ireland
Riots in Tokyo, riots in Thailand
Riots right here in our homeland
Reagan sits behind while sneering
Soviets are domineering
Third world states need engineering
No more time for loving and caring
Same old madness same old madness
Same old madness same old madness
In the evening, reading the paper
Read the front page through the back page
Welcome to the modern age
It's the very latest craze
Same old madness same old madness
Same old madness same old madness
Same old madness same old madness
Same old madness same old madness

How can I be sure?
When your intrusion is my illusion
How can I be sure
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
How can I be sure
For all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure
When all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
I've been here before
There is no why, no need to try
I thought you had it all
I'm calling you, I'm calling you
I ask for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
You don't give me love
