Kids hanging out on a Saturday night
Waitin' on wheels, wanna go for a ride
Cruisin' round town, just feels right
Gotta get away

Blasting rock and hip hop and oh, all dressed down
With no place to go, a difficult age just takin' it slow
To wait for better days

Can't stop the wild and restless
Still the ritual goes on
Following the footsteps, where
Their fathers used to run

Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh with every generation
Your rebels had their time
Worried days have gone, now shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting
Right behind every generation

Fashions go and come back around
They're finding out things that got a cool sound
Flash back to retro, it's all new again
Fighting wars under different names
Those who don't know the songs, but all feel the pain
Through the tears, why
I don't think that'll change
Between now and then

While the radio's still playing that familiar sweet love song
We still share the same desire, we all need to belong

Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh with every generation
Your rebels had their time
Worried days have gone, now shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting
Right behind every generation

Some generations leave us heroes of their day
With magic moments that still take our breath away
Some will inherit all the politics and blame
And some will leave this world a better place

Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh with every generation
Your rebels had their time
Worried days have gone, now shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting
Right behind every generation
