Kids On The Street
Angelic Upstarts Lyrics

Kids on the street
The children who roam around in public places

Are the kids that you meet
These are the same children who you encounter in your life

Long haired short haired
Children who have long or short hair

Black and white
Children who are of different races

Kids on the street just
These kids are simply

Kids that you meet
Children that you run into in life

Know how to laugh
These children are capable of laughing

And they know how to cry
These children can also feel sadness and cry

Just go on and on
These children will continue to exist for a very long time

They never die
Children never truly die, they keep living on in spirit

I wish they all could have their say
It would be ideal if every child had a voice

And the world would change
The world could be different for the better

From day to day
From one day to the next

No more worries
No more concerns or anxieties

Nothing but laughs
Only laughter and joy

All you kids black and white
All children regardless of race

Together we are dynamite
When we unite, we are powerful

Never wait a moment too long
Don't procrastinate, take action now

Not tomorrow
Don't delay until tomorrow

Tomorrow is too long
Tomorrow is too far away to wait

We're the Geordie kids (Geordie kids)
We are the children from the northeast region of England

We're the kids on the street
We are the same children from before, but now specifically referring to themselves

We're the Belfast kids(Belfast kids)
We are the children from the capital city of Northern Ireland

We're the Birmingham kids (Birmingham kids)
We are the children from the second largest city in England

We're the Glasgow kids (Glasgow kids)
We are the children from the largest city in Scotland

We're the kids that you meet
They are reintroducing themselves and reiterating that they are the same children from earlier
