Written by ricky & marty wilde Everybody live for the music-go-round Everybody live for the music-go-round 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 fell the heat But it's shooting Heading down I search for the beat in this dirty town Everybody live for the music-go-round Everybody live for the music-go-round We're the kids in america We're the kids in america 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 never mind You know life is cruel, life is never kind Everybody live for the music-go-round We're the kids in america We're the kids in america Everybody live for the music-go-round
