The kids on the street will never give in
The kids on the street will never give in
The kids on the street will never
I can't help it, Mama
I can't help it, Papa
I don't see things your way
Like choosin' my own religion
Like where I hang out's my decision
Self-expression all the way, hi yea yea yea
We're the leaders of tomorrow
Your mistakes we won't borrow
You had your chance, so do we
It's black & white, we're thinkin' deeper
Competition's steeper
Self-expression all the way, hi yea yea yea
(x3):
The kids on the street will never give in
Don't resent our created family
Don't put down our new philosophy
We're the future; let us break free
We're not on the streets to fight
Tryin' to prove what they believe is right
We're the future; let us break free
The kids on the street will never give in
The kids on the street will never give in
The kids on the street will never
Small minds always criticize
Who's to say who's wrong or right?
Born free to love & hate
You say our clothes are very strange
You can't accept the world has changed
Let us make our own mistakes, hi yea yea yea
(repeat & fade):
The kids on the street will never give in
