I've seen some girls act a fool when they don't get attention
Turn down a hand while their friends plan their next intervention
And I've seen some guys lean on raries they rented for photos
They'd rather post up than find out what it takes to own one
Oh, the kids are alright
While they spend their life on their parents' dime
Oh, we just need some time
Cause it only takes a second
To take in how you're moving
I know some folks who like playing it close to the chest, yeah
Only to lay down their hands for the sake of reflection
And I've heard enough to know most of us lie out of habit
Like you don't wait two weeks to RSVP
Cause you don't wanna seem like you're desperate
Oh, the kids are alright
Oh, the kids are alright
While they spend their life on their parents' dime
Oh, we just need some time
Cause it only takes a second
To take in how you're moving
Oh, the kids are alright
While they spend their lives on their parents' dime
Oh, the kids are alright
While they spend their life on their parents' dime
Oh, the kids are alright
Oh, the kids are alright
Yeah
Oh, the kids are right
Oh, the kids are alright

Wow

They spend their life on their parents' time
Ah, we just need some time
Cause it only takes a second
To take in how you're moving
