ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies
Whatcha gonna do when the lights start shining?
ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies
Whatcha gonna do when your head's exploding?

So you missed some school
You know that school's for fools
Today money rules
And everybody steals it

ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies
Whatcha gonna do when your stomach's burning?
ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies
Whatcha gonna do when your guts start churning?

You lead a life of crime
You got to go unwind
You haven't got much time
You know they're out to get you

ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies
Whatcha gonna do when you get religion?
ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies
Hope you didn't get it on the television

So you missed some school
You know that school's for fools
Today money rules
And everybody steals it

You lead a life of crime
You got to go unwind
You haven't got much time
You know they're out to get you

ELO kiddies
