Do It for the Kids Lyrics

Sometimes it's not enough
You start that crying then you empty that stuff
We try, we try, to make you happy, it's true
Yes, you are crazy and we know it's true
To the point that we don't know what to do
We nod and listen, smile and grin for you
You see, all the kids and horns like to dance
Good times aren't so special when you're,
Frown on the past

We are your mom and papa's nightmares
We dance for you to wash away your cares
Cracking smiles even when we're sad
That's just the way it goes in a ska band

Ya kick the beat so you can grind on the floor
Something stinky, smells a stanky, oh no!
You best step back, this ain't no joke
It's me
Breaking hearts when we don't know
Which way hearts suppose to go
We see your frown; I bet you smell that now
It's me
You see, all the kids and horns like to dance
Good times aren't so special when you're,
Frown on the past

We are your mom and papa's nightmares
We dance for you to wash away your cares
Cracking smiles even when we're sad
That's just the way it goes in a ska band

OK
You don't care
Run to me with tears
You say that it's not fair
We live
Only for your happiness
Would have never thought
Kindness would lead to this
We live in
Such a dirty world
Times are changing
People pushing
You and me
Have got a lot to learn, oh
And it's all for you
So everybody let's sing tonight
Do it for the kids, do it right.
We are your mom and papa's nightmares
We dance for you to wash away your cares
Cracking smiles even when we're sad
That's just the way it goes in a ska band
[x2]

For you and you, for you and you
For you and you
[x2]
