Orange Mothers – Kids (Don't Know) lyrics

When we were kids
We walked a thousand miles to school
When we were kids we didn't wear tattoos
When we were kids we smoked pot
And wore black clothes
When we were kids
We listened to the Clash

Chorus:
Kids don't know
No they don't know
What it was like
Like when we were young
Kids don't know
No they don't know
What it was like
Like when we were young

All my friends
They're going back to school again
Oh look it's me
Still barking up the wrong tree
Here comes my girlfriend
She wants to be a scientist
Watch out for James
He has to tow a straight line

Chorus:
Kids don't know
No they don't know
What it was like
Like when we were young
Kids don't know
No they don't know
What it was like
Like when we were young

(Guitar)

The kids don't know
The kids don't know
The kids don't know
What it was like
When we were young

The kids don't know
The kids don't know
The kids don't know
What it was like
When we young

(Guitar)

The kids today
They're swimming in
Computer land
Those kids today
They're growing up too soon
But they'll be dead
Dead and gone tomorrow
And a whole bunch 'a new kids
Will start it up again
Yeah...

Chorus:
Kids don't know
No they don't know
What it was like
Like when we were young
No kids don't know
No they don't know
What it was like
Like when we were young

But I don't know
What the kids know
I don't wanna know
I'm so much older now

Chorus:
But the kids don't know
No they don't know
What it was like
Like when we were young

You kids don't know
You kids don't know
You kids don't know
You kids don't know
You kids don't know
You kids don't know
You kids don't know
You kids...
