Does anyone happen to know the lyrics to 'Kids' and or have any info on this song as to when it was first played and in which era it was written?

"Kids"? As in their cover of the MGMT song?

It's a song by a Psychedelic Folk band called MGMT. The guys have been playing it lately. The lyrics are:

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward him
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

(Chorus)
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him
A family of trees wanting to be haunted (?)
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Also, I think the first time Raine sang it in In Repair was the show right before Pittsburgh. Off the top of my head I don't remember where that one was.

Weezer has also been singing it in their live shows. Along with Lady Gaga's Poker Face.

Lot's of bands dig MGMT. Their other big song that bands seem to love is.
