The Kids Aren't Alright Songtext
von Fall Out Boy

Stuck in the jet wash
Bad trip I couldn′t get off
And maybe I bit off more than I could chew
And overhead of the aqua blue

Fall to your knees bring on the rapture
Blessed be the boys time can't capture
On film or between the sheets
I always fall from your window
To the pitch black streets

And with the black banners raised
As the crooked smiles fade
Former heroes who quit too late
Who just wanna fill up the trophy case again


And in the end
I′d do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren′t al-, kids aren′t alright?
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don′t you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren′t alright?

I'm not passive but aggressive
Take note, it′s not impressive
Empty your sadness
Like you're dumping your purse on my bedroom floor
We put your curse in reverse

And it's our time now if you want it to be
Maul the world like a carnival bear set free
And your love is anemic and I can′t believe
That you couldn′t see it coming from me

And I still feel that rush in my veins
It twists my head just a bit to think
All the people in those old photographs I've seen are dead


And in the end
I′d do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don′t you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren′t alright?
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren′t al-, kids aren′t alright?

And sometimes I just wanna sit around and
Gaze at my shoes
And let your dirty sadness fill me up
Just like a balloon

And in the end
I'd do it all again
I think you′re my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren′t al-, kids aren't alright?
I′ll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren′t alright?
