Self Expression (The Kids On The Street Will Never Give In) - Lou Christie

The kids on the street will never give in

The kids on the street will never give in

The kids on the street will never

I can’t help it, Mama

I can’t help it, Papa

I don’t see things your way

Like choosin' my own religion

Like where I hang out’s my decision

Self-expression all the way, hi yea yea yea

We’re the leaders of tomorrow

Your mistakes we won’t borrow

You had your chance, so do we

It’s black & white, we’re thinkin' deeper

Competition’s steeper

Self-expression all the way, hi yea yea yea

The kids on the street will never give in

Don’t resent our created family

Don’t put down our new philosophy

We’re the future;

let us break free

We’re not on the streets to fight

Tryin' to prove what they believe is right

We’re the future;

let us break free

The kids on the street will never give in

The kids on the street will never give in

The kids on the street will never

Small minds always criticize
