The Kids Aren't Alright

[Verse 1] Stuck in the jet wash A bad trip I couldn't get off Maybe I bit off more than I could chew 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 street And with the black banners raised As the crooked smiles fade Former heroes who quit too late Who 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 al-, 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 al-, kids aren't alright [Verse 2] 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 Maul the world like the carnival bear 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 a bit to think All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead [Chorus] [Bridge] 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]
