SAM ROBERTS lyrics : "them kids"


No one feels more alone than


The children of a dying breed

You never feel at home when you're


Just another mouth to feed


I wanna live in geological time

Because I'm still in my biological prime





If nobody listens then who's gonna hear?

If nobody listens, will we disappear?





You flip a man a quarter

Playing songs on his guitar


You're on a street corner


Feeling like a patron of the arts




And now the kids don't know


How to dance to rock and roll

I said the kids don't know


How to dance to rock and roll




If nobody listens then who's gonna hear?


If nobody listens, will we disappear?




I just don't understand


Why the kids don't know


How to dance to rock and roll

I said the kids don't know


How to dance to rock and roll




They're always on the phone and


They always gotta have control


And now the kids don't know

How to dance to rock and roll





The golden years are under attack

(We're taking them back, we're taking them back)


The golden years are under attack


(We're taking them back, we're taking them back)



Looking for an original voice


But the beaten path leaves little choice

The melody that you thought you found


Reveals that she's been sleeping around



We were apostles, they were the high priests


We lived the hustle, the keepers of the back beat

We're under pressure to reconcile


Our point of view with contemporary style



It used to be that the kids were the ones


Who knew how to get off

It was a yell from the swamp

Now it's only coming out as a cough




I can't sell my songs so I'm

Gonna have to give them away

I can't sell myself since my hair


Started turning to gray



If nobody listens then who's gonna hear?

If nobody listens, will we disappear?




I just don't understand

Why the kids don't know


How to dance to rock and roll

I said the kids don't know

How to dance to rock and roll




The high priests are calling

All disciples back to the fold

Because the kids don't know

How to dance to rock and roll
