GREEN DAY (Billie Joe) - "Kids in America" [Music Video | No Fun Mondays]

Edited by FDK
The Kids In America, originally by Kim Wilde and then recorded later by The Muffs
The project consists of 14 cover songs released during quarantine for the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the "No Fun Mondays" series of songs, in which Billie Joe Armstrong would release a cover song onto the Green Day RUclips channel every so often usually on a Monday as the title suggests.
Lyrics:
Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town (downtown)
The young ones are going
(Downtown) the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey, not a chance
Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later, baby, you'll be saying nevermind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind (kind hearts)
Don't make a new story
(Kind hearts) don't grab any glory
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la, sing
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la
Come closer, honey, that's better
Got to get a brand-new experience, feeling right
Oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go, baby
New York to east California
There's a new wave coming, I warn ya
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody lives for the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la, sing
La la la la-la la-la
La la la la-la la
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America

It's one that you wished you wrote. Kim Wilde did this amazingly!

[@kegs5556]

The Muffs do it best-

[@aussiemusicfan0298]

Fantastic 👍

[@santighudi]

Awesome

[@BigDubular]

Glad they included footage of their show at Cain’s Ballroom here in Tulsa. Such a staple in music history.

[@georgejamestaylor7572]

You just have to give it (respect) to Green Day.
They started out with Punk Rock sensibilities, but their ear for melody is both infectious & constantly developing!
I saw a home video, with Billy Joe & his two children doing 'Manic Monday'.
What an education his children are receiving.
Thier own catalogue is really impressive as well! I like the way they do NOT give credence to their critics, by simply not engaging in any kind of dialogue at all!
I'm from England & personally I think Green Day rock!!!

Oh nooo they di’in……

[@ultrademigod]

They're no lawnmower deth, but I don't hate it.

[@Antanix]

Very similar to the 1995 Muffs cover. Billie Joe is a huge Muffs fan, so he probably took inspiration from them.

[@kristianfagerheim1329]

Punk for normies

Слава Україні 💛💙🙏💗

Keep your masks on when you record. That’s toeing the line. Sell outs do what corporate tells you
