"Kidz" by Take That (RL)

     This song is most likely one you have never heard of. It is "Kidz" by the British boyband, Take That. Take That was like the British version of the Backstreet Boys before the Backstreet Boys were the Backstreet Boys. Now, most of the members are pushing forty or are already in their forties, and they are still producing amazing music. "Kidz," from their most recent and hugely successful 2010 album Progress, is proof of that.
     "Kidz" is a song that mixes clever lyrics and repetition with futuristic instrumental beats and rhythms. With a haunting intro of a staccato cadence to Mark Owens's unique voice, it draws listeners in immediately. They stay glued until the end when what can be described as chaos with sounds of police sirens leads an outro. Beyond that, it has an awesome message. It acts as a warning, warning listeners of the state of the world and what will happen if things are not changed. It comments on government and where its true power lies and how it is used and overused. It notes the dangers of technology and science. Above all else, it simply states who will have to inevitably deal with all of these problems. The "kidz."

"Kidz"

Kings and Queens and Presidents

Ministers of Governments

Welcome to the future of your world

Through talking heads that took liberties

The monkeys learnt to build machines

They think they'll get to heaven through the universe

They say nothing

Deny everything

And make counter accusations

My friends, my dear, my love, my God

There'll be trouble when the kidz come out (come out)

There will be lots for them to talk about (about)

There'll be trouble when the kidz come out

When the kidz come out, when the kidz come out

When the kidz come out

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

What you looking at

Hey, hey, hey, hey

You want a bit of that

Hey, hey, hey, hey

There will be trouble when the kidz come out

When the kidz come out

Hey

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who's the fairest of them all?

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly or the Beautiful

Because it's up hill and against the wind

With no-one there to let us in

Leave your thoughts and save yourself you fool

The daggers of science

Evolving into violence

We're not sure where the fallout blows

But we all know ·

There'll be trouble when the kidz come out (come out)

There will be lots for them to talk about (about)

There'll be trouble when the kidz come out

When the kidz come out, when the kidz come out

When the kidz come out

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

What you looking at

Hey, hey, hey, hey

You want a bit of that

Hey, hey, hey, hey

There will be trouble when the kidz come out

When the kidz come out

Hey

Out on the streets tonight

They're making peace tonight

They're making peace

La, la, la, la...

There'll be trouble when the kidz come out

There will be lots for them to talk about

There'll be trouble when the kidz come out

When the kidz come out, when the kidz come out

There'll be trouble when the kidz come out
