Here comes the Latchkey Kid
He's got our world on his shoulders
He has a secret identity
On a fake ID that will claim he is 10 years older
With tousled hair, and eyes that roll
He's cynical, whatever that means
There's his sidekick, the Matchstick Girl
Her behavior erratic
Confusing her victims with mood shift twirls
When backed in a corner she'll hit them with something sarcastic
With an attitude and eyes that roll
While hidden safe behind her bangs
What a wonderful peace of mind
Living blind to the broken
As lazy as an old excuse
One we'll use while we're here
Having the time, the time of our lives, relying on the Latchkey Kids
Make way for the Latchkey Kids
They're our hope for the future
They're going to erase all the bad things we did
With their Xbox skills and their heads full of short-term memory
With eyes that roll, and teenage shoulders
Shrugging off the universe
He's got our world on his shoulders
He has a secret identity
On a fake ID that will claim he is 10 years older
With tousled hair, and eyes that roll
He's cynical, whatever that means
There's his sidekick, the Matchstick Girl
Her behavior erratic
Confusing her victims with mood shift twirls
When backed in a corner she'll hit them with something sarcastic
With an attitude and eyes that roll
While hidden safe behind her bangs
What a wonderful peace of mind
Living blind to the broken
As lazy as an old excuse
One we'll use while we're here
Having the time, the time of our lives, relying on the Latchkey Kids
Make way for the Latchkey Kids
They're our hope for the future
They're going to erase all the bad things we did
With their Xbox skills and their heads full of short-term memory
With eyes that roll, and teenage shoulders
Shrugging off the universe
