Skindred - The Kids Are Right Now lyrics

rate me

Black child, born Jamaica

Crossed the ocean on a wind-ward sailboat

Twisted guitar he's a got an' a gangster

Rude boy from the trench-town streets

And he knows, he knows he's gonna have it all

He's standin' like he's 10 foot tall

He knows he's gonna have it all

The streets, the rise, the fall

Loud music, salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music’s my salvation

And the kids are right now

White child, raised in Brixton

Born again through the radio sound

A lot of tape and a lot of distortion

Studies and he makes the sound

And he knows, he knows he's gonna have it all

He' standin' like he's 10 foot tall

He knows he's gonna have it all

The streets, the rise, the fall

Loud music salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music’s my salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music's salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music’s my salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music’s my salvation

And the kids are right now

Dey're right now

Black child, born Jamaica

Crossed the ocean on a wind-ward sailboat

Twisted guitar he's a got an' a gangster

Rude boy from the trench-town streets

And he knows, he knows he's gonna have it all

He's standin' like he's 10 foot tall

He knows he's gonna have it all

The streets, the rise, the fall

Loud music salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music’s my salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music’s my salvation

And the kids are right now

Loud music’s my salvation

And the kids are right now

Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on, we're passin'
