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 are 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 got religion?
ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies
Hope you didn't
Get it on the television
Oh 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
