When the kids get together

They try to defend

The rights that they've got

But they always pretend

Need no protection

From parents or law

They've got each other

That's what gangs are for



Discipline gets nowhere

With the kids of today

Who might have problems

But they'll never say

Won't run for help

Or run for cover

The kids of today

Have got each other



Neurotic kids can take the pain

Neurotic kids can take the strain

Neurotic kids can take the pain

Come on kids we've got a lot to gain



You know they're out of touch

With no place to go

Only thing left

Is the streets to roam

When they've got friends

They've got support

And no one need feel

Two feet too short



People often class us

As violent or cruel

Who are the critics

Trying to fool

The kids ain't out

For trouble but kicks

They're out to show

That feelings can mix



Don't let first impressions

Spoil your view

Your attitudes old

But socety's new

So don't criticise

After the first glance

Give the kids

A first class chance
