Just a band out of Boston, 1974

The local scene wasn't happening, and everything was a bore

Hangin' at the Rat, heckling the bands on stage

"We can do it better than that, we can rattle this cage"


CHORUS

Disco on the radio, and Aerosmith runs the town

The Kids were listenin' to Iggy

They were diggin' that, they were diggin' that Detroit sound


Rolling up into load in, nobody asked them to come

The Kids were impatient, they just wanted to have some fun

An industry convention, now The Kids were up on the stage

All Kindsa Girls were going wild and the crowd just went insane


CHORUS

Disco on the radio, and Aerosmith runs the town

The Kids were listenin' to Iggy

They were diggin' that, they were diggin' that Detroit sound


Opening for the New York Dolls, playing Taxi Boys real loud

The Kids were exploding, they could feel the love from the crowd

But nothing lasts forever, I'd rather burn out than fade away

Now The Kids are remembered, and their music is here to stay


CHORUS

Disco on the radio, and Aerosmith runs the town

The Kids were listenin' to Iggy

Now I'm diggin' that, I'm diggin' that Real Kids sound
