You say you're scared, we're not to blame
Cause mindless violence ain't our claim
A new breed's here, we're gonna stay
And break down all your shallow ways
[Chorus:]
Cause we are the new kids
We've got our heads
We'll keep on fighting
'Til old ways are dead
Clenched fists, black eyes! (2x)
We're aiming for a different goal
Succeeding where the hippies failed
But one thing's sure and you can bet
We'll be more than a drugged-out threat!
(Repeat Chorus)
Cause mindless violence ain't our claim
A new breed's here, we're gonna stay
And break down all your shallow ways
[Chorus:]
Cause we are the new kids
We've got our heads
We'll keep on fighting
'Til old ways are dead
Clenched fists, black eyes! (2x)
We're aiming for a different goal
Succeeding where the hippies failed
But one thing's sure and you can bet
We'll be more than a drugged-out threat!
(Repeat Chorus)
