The Kids Aren't Alright

Fall Out Boy

Stuck in the jetwash 
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 

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 like before
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 it 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 
And the people I see 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 all, 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 all, kids aren’t alright 

And sometimes I just want to 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 all, 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 all, kids aren’t alright
