All The Kids Are Right
Local H Lyrics

You heard that we were great
At some point, we were supposed to be amazing and that reputation preceded us.

But now you think we're lame
However, for some reason, you believe that we aren't cool anymore.

Since you saw the show last night
Your disillusionment occurred after watching our most recent performance.

You hoped that we would rock
You had expectations that our show would be awesome.

Knock it up a notch
You wanted us to take it to the next level and really impress you.

Rockin' was nowhere in sight
Unfortunately, we failed to deliver on your expectations and didn't perform as well as you had hoped we would.

And its never good when it goes bad
Disappointing someone is never a good thing, especially in show business.

No one likes to feel like they've been had
Nobody enjoys the feeling of being deceived or let down.

And it may be ok
Although we messed up this time, it's possible that we'll do better next time.

But you won't wear our t-shirts now
Regardless of the future, our failure has made you decide not to support us any longer.

Anymore
You were a fan, but now you've lost faith in us.

First the band looked wired
At the start of the performance, we seemed energetic and enthusiastic.

Then the band looked tired
However, as the night progressed, we appeared fatigued and uninterested.

Sluggish and a little slow
Our lack of energy and enthusiasm was palpable and evident in our performance.

He's walking through the set
Our lead singer seemed to be going through the motions and not fully present during the show.

As drunk as he could get
To complicate matters, our lead singer was also heavily intoxicated.

And what the hell was wrong with joe?
Additionally, there seemed to be something off about our bandmate Joe, and you couldn't help but notice.

And you could tell the crowd was fading fast
The audience's interest and enthusiasm waned quickly and was an indication of our poor performance.

Every song we played looser than the last
As the night progressed, our musicianship worsened and our songs became sloppier.

All the kids, they hold a grudge
The younger generation of fans are quick to hold grudges when they're disappointed.

Their minds are logged onto the net
Given their association with technology and social media, these fans tend to broadcast their grievances online.

You fail them and they won't forget it
And once they've been disappointed by an artist, they won't forget it and are unlikely to support that artist again.

They saw what you did
These fans saw our lackluster performance and were disappointed by it.

You're all wrong and all the kids are right
Despite our self-perception that we put on a good show, the younger generation of fans saw it differently and their opinion matters more.

And finally we said "good night"
After an underwhelming and disappointing show, we exited the stage with a less-than-generous applause from the audience.

When we had returned for the encore
Although we left the stage, we decided to come back for an extra performance.

You and half the room had headed for the door
Unfortunately for us, many fans had already left and weren't present for the encore.

No one wanted more
The lack of enthusiasm in the audience made it clear that no one was interested in hearing more from us.
