The Kids Aren't Alright

Intro:    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   Just wanna fill up the trophy case again   Chorus:   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 all kids aren’t alright   I’ll be yours when it rains it pours   Stay thirsty I’ll be fine   Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all 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 to to be   More the war like the carnival bears 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 too thin   All those people in those old photographs I’ve seen are dead   Chorus   And sometimes I just want to sit around and gaze at my shoes yeah   And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon   Chorus
