[Intro: Spoken]
Giving the show to children of all ages
The purveyors of the finest in Teen-C power
Girls and boys, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the pop group, bis
Sci-Fi Steven, a secret vampire by night
Ears and eyes always on the lookout for conspiracies against the Teen-C nation
Lives by the ethic, 'Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.'
Manda Rin, seeker of the truth
Hairclips and screams used as deadly weapons
Childlike appearance used as decoy
A warning to all saboteurs, 'Be fooled and be dead.'
John Disco, all hail the Disco King
Gaze in wonderment at his skanking ability, but don't stare too long
His disco feet can hypnotize
Hear him say, 'Travolta ain't got nothin' on me'
And now coming through the airwaves into your home
Introducing the new transistor heroes
[Intro]
Tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
[Verse 1]
Hey you!
Fascist man
Working on your master plan
We know what we saw (we know)
Won't let you do more (no more)
Hey you!
Homophobe
Life without your frontal lobe
Your prejudice lies ([?])
While innocents die (they die)
Hey you!
It's the sound
In your head goes round and round
You want it some more (more more)
Your life is a bore (bore bore)
Hey you!
Don't be scared
Bis are here and we don't care
We'll expose the lies (yes yes)
It's the defence for the kids
See rock shows near Washington
Get tickets as low as $23
[Chorus]
No use running now, we know what you did
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
Gonna get you now, cuz that's now it is
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
[Verse 2]
Hey you!
Poison pen
No use trying to pretend
You think you're the best (the best)
Now here's the prole press (prole press)
Hey you!
Businessman
Getting as much as you can
We wanted the truth (the truth)
We still want our youth (our youth)
Hey you!
Backstabber
We know who and where you are
You let down the kids (the kids)
Yes that's what you did (you did)
Hey you!
Listen out
Teen-C nation gives the shout
Retain the youth (yes yes)
It's the defence for the kids!
[Chorus]
No use running now, we know what you did
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
Gonna get you now, cuz that's now it is
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
Kids, kids
[Bridge]
Telling it to the kids
Oh, oh, oh, oh fighting for the nation's youth
So, so, so, so, we can find out all the truth
No, no, no, no, no use hiding what you did
Oh, oh, oh, oh, we are gonna tell it to the...1-2...kids!
[Chorus]
No use running now, we know what you did
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
Gonna get you now, cuz that's now it is
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
[Chorus]
No use running now, we know what you did
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
Gonna get you now, cuz that's now it is
We're gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids kids kids kids kids!
