Fall Out Boy - The Kids Aren't Alright (Audio) 

The new fob= EXTREMELY AWESOME the old fob= EXTREMELY AWESOME

This song is SO underrated

To all the 12 -17 yr olds listening to FOB as a new thing someday you'll be in your twenties and hear these songs and feel a tinge of pain in your heart and want to cry and that's the emo in all of us Emos that connects us all. Also you're not alone we all feel that way about music that has memories.

The way Patrick sings the line in 2:20 just gives me goosebumps, what a masterpiece

This song is actually the one that got me into FOB. I was looking for the Offspring one and clicked this song by mistake. Best accident ever.

*"And in the end, I'lll do it all again. I think you're my best friend. But don't you know that the kids aren't alright."*

When they said “Stuck in the jet wash Bad trip I couldn't get off And maybe I bit off more than I could chew And overhead of the aqua blue Fall to your knees bring on the rapture Blessed be the boys time can't capture On film or between the sheets I always fall from your window To the pitch black streets And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade Former heroes who quit too late Just wanna fill up the trophy case again And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright I'll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright I'm not passive but aggressive Take note, it's not impressive Empty your sadness, like you're dumping your purse On my bedroom floor We put your curse in reverse And it's our time now if you want to to be More the war like the carnival bears set free And your love is anemic and I can't believe That you couldn't see it coming from me And I still feel that rush in my veins It twists my head just a bit too thin All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright I'll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright And sometimes I just want to sit around And gaze at my shoes yeah And let your dirty sadness fill me up Just like a balloon And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright And I'll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright” I felt that

This is that one song you hear... And it gives you mad butterflies and makes you want to cry so hard but also makes you smile so hard your cheeks hurt and it physically makes you feel sick but in a good way. This is that song.

No matter what, Fall Out Boy will /always/ be one of the best. Always.

This song just makes me think about Pete's period of depression and how Patrick helped pull him out. Their friendship always makes me smile.

Everytime I hear "I'll be yours, when it rains it pours" tear grow every single time like OMFG ! The ijn the end part it sound like he says "I'm yours" like this is the best emotional song

I haven't listened to this song since I was 14/15. I'm now 19 I just found it again and I'm sobbing my heart out. Such nostalgia.

this feels nostolgic

are you allowed to marry a song

I really cannot listen to this song without crying. Whenever I feel really, really low or just downright awful, I know I can play a Fall Out Boy song, and I feel better. In December of last year, I was going through an extremely rough time in my life, due to bullying, and some mental issues. When I was at my absolute lowest, this song actually saved my life. The vocals, lyrics, and every little detail of the song, helped me feel calmer and made me actually feel sort of normal. I was completely alone, had no one to call a friend, but I knew the band was there for me. I have several memories of myself crying at 2am, and just playing this song or several other songs, and just getting lost, almost an escape, from listening to the music. All of a sudden, when I put on my headphones, the bullies, anxiety, hallucinations, and everyone around me went away. I felt, for the first time in a long time, a bit of joy. On December 7th, I attended a concert, and they played this song. I cried, next to hundreds of other fans, my true best friend, and my father. With the help of music, my family, and several others, I got off of self harm, found friends, and got help for myself. My entire life, was completely saved by Fall Out Boy. I know, if the band didn't exist, I would not have, after November of 2017, ever waken up again. Thanks to the band, I am alive, and getting help. Thank you, Fall Out Boy, and several other bands, artists, and family for helping save me. If you are going through and hard times in your life, know that it's worth it. You should go when you are old, and have stories to tell of all the fun adventure you had, not when you are young and say "I wish I could have gone to that concert, I wish I could pet my dog.'" Try to wake up from that state. You know that the sun will come up, everyone will wake up, and no one would be happy without you. Take your pain, and turn it into something. Paint a picture, write a song, start a movement or program in your town or city to help others who are struggling with the same issues. It will help you, and everyone around you. It gets better. I promise. Love and hope, G.

You are not immune to nostalgia

I didn't grow to love Fall Out Boy, I didn't even fall into it, I crashed headlong into it and I'm still burning from the explosion.

Old fob, new fob In between fob It's still gold It's still emo gold So shut up

funny how most kids who listen to this song aren't alright.

'With the black banners raised'..... Hmmmmmmm, where else have I seen black banners........ I guess they'd be used in a........ BLACK PARADE.

this is it. this is the song that made me emo.

*feels uncomfortable singing this because I have no best friend* Me: well heck

This song feels like a dream of every teenager

It boggles my mind that critics mostly talk about how popular FOB is, and completely ignore why that is: They are incredibly talented at creating music that stirs both body and soul, and this song perfectly encapsulates that. Every time I hear this tune, I find my head nodding along with the beat, but by the chorus, I'm staring out the window longingly like a Jane Austen heroine wondering if her love will ever come back to her. Yeah: In other words, I kinda like this song a lot ... (Oh: and I will conclude with: Patrick Stump's voice, amirite?!!)

i want to cry every time i hear this is that normal

I like it. It's so powerful and the lyrics are so dark. Good job Patrick.

This is the joy of nostalgia. This is the pain of nostalgia. This is the song of those without regrets.

"I think your my best friend" my fall out boy playlist is my best friend for sure.

"You're love is a meme."

play this at my graduation play this at my wedding play this at my first born child's birth play this at my funeral

Wish there'd be a movie with this song playing in the background of an important scene. Like a normal scene with dialogue and then next frame and the song suddenly starts...

This song is what got me into FOB. It is probably one of the most nostalgic song for me. The way Stump sings this song is amazing.

THIS BAND MAKES ME SO FUCKING HAPPY

Boy am I glad I packed my lunch today didn't know I'd be going on a feel trip.

FOB: The kids arent all right Society: The youth is fine Jeremy Zucker: All the kids are depressed Society: No no the youth is fine ... Public education: May i offer you extra work in these trying times?

Steps of how listen to this masterpiece 1-hit the "play" button 2- try not to cry 3- fail step 2 4- keep on crying while mashing the "replay" button Enjoy :')

Who agrees that this should be our anthem? Like pop music has an anthem which I think is either shake it off or its all about that bass. I think this should be ours! Who agrees that this will be OUR anthem?!

First of all: definitely my favorite AB/AP song so far!!! Second of all: They killed it again with the album cover! I loved Save Rock and Roll's cover so much and this one is like in the same vein. So cool.

this song makes me so incredibly SAD and nostalgic for something ???

Best song from this album

"The Kids Arent Alright" YEAH OF COURSE AFTER THIS SONG NO ONE IS ALRIGHT

My love IS a meme... I love Dan howell... I'll let myself out

This makes me cry even though I can't make out the lyrics very much. This song gives off the kind of vibes that sounds rad to listen while you're in the bus, sunshine breaking upon your hair. 10 am feels ~

My best friend is moving away soon, and this song reminds me of all the memories we've had and how much we love and appreciate each other. I'm gonna miss him immensely. Thank you to Fall Out Boy for this piece of art. You're my number one favorite band for a reason. ♡

This has so much truth... Kids aren't alright... We suffer... We don't forget

I DONT CARE WHO HATES ME BUT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVE FOB SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!! WHOS WITH ME???

This is my sitting in the dark, eating chocolate and crying song.

THIS SONG ISN'T LONG ENOUGH

For anyone looking (Im open to correction) Lyrics: Stuck in the jetwash Bad trip I couldn’t get off And maybe I bit off more than I could chew And overhead of the aqua blue Fall to your knees bring on the rapture Blessed be the boys time can’t capture On film or between the sheets I always fall from your window to the pitch black streets And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade Former heroes who quit too late Just wanna fill up the trophy case again And in the end I’d do it all again I think you’re my best friend Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright I’ll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright I’m not passive but aggressive Take note, it’s not impressive Empty your sadness Like you’re dumping your purse on my bedroom floor We put your curse in reverse And it’s our time now if you want it to be Maul the war like the carnival bears set free And your love is anemic and I can’t believe That you couldn’t see it coming from me And I still feel that rush in my veins It twists my head just a bit too thin All those people I see in those old photographs I’ve seen are dead And in the end I’d do it all again I think you’re my best friend Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright I’ll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright And sometimes I just want to sit around and gaze at my shoes And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon And in the end I’d do it all again I think you’re my best friend Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright I’ll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright

omg Patrick's voice....

"The Kids Aren't Alright " Me: Well did you shrink them or something?

Stuck in the jet wash Bad trip I couldn't get off And maybe I bit off more than I could chew And overhead of the aqua blue Fall to your knees bring on the rapture Blessed be the boys time can't capture On film or between the sheets I always fall from your window To the pitch black streets And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade Former heroes who quit too late Just wanna fill up the trophy case again And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright I'll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright I'm not passive but aggressive Take note, it's not impressive Empty your sadness, like you're dumping your purse On my bedroom floor We put your curse in reverse And it's our time now if you want to to be More the war like the carnival bears set free And your love is anemic and I can't believe That you couldn't see it coming from me And I still feel that rush in my veins It twists my head just a bit too thin All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright I'll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright And sometimes I just want to sit around And gaze at my shoes yeah And let your dirty sadness fill me up Just like a balloon And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright And I'll be yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

Jeez, if you don't like their new music, go get a time machine.

No one gives a fuck if you don't give a fuck if we don't like Fall Out Boy's new music In general, people should stop give a fuck about people liking or disliking the things that they like or dislike

2,856 kids aren't alright :v

"And in the end, I'd do it all again. I think you're my best friend, and don't you know that the kids aren't alright?" I get so emotionally moved every time, it hurts.

this song always makes me cry and I still dont know why

I REALLY WANNA CRY MY EYES ARE ALREADY GLISTENING BUT I CANT PRODUCE TEAR DROPS

I’m crying as hell 😢

Old trip down memory lane today.

"Your love is a meme"

Am I the only one that heard "your love is a meme" at 2:14? I know that's not what the lyric is but that's what it sounds like.

I was expecting an Offspring Cover I was not disappointed

this song reminds me of summer nights on the beach with my friends. we’ve all grown apart since 2015, but i hope they’re all doing well. i hope this song still makes them think of the same thing it makes me think about. :’)

4:06 that soul voice tho

why did I start crying when he said "In the end I think id do it again"

I always imagine this song in a remix with All Time Lows Good Times

I DO know that the kids aren't alright, because I heard this song like 83.351 times.

Yes, I'm not alright. tHANKS FOR FINALLY NOTICING.

Hey FOB Fans! I´m Lea. This is the first FOB song i´ve ever listened to. Help. I think I can´t escape the fandom...

This song is so deathly underrated it like pains me almost

8.5 years later and I'm finally listening to the album that kept me alive during the peak of my abuse with my ex. The flooding of emotions is on a different level. 😕

okay, who the fuck disliked this

scrolling through the comments... the Phandom is literally everywhere. definitely found my people.

Alternative title "This Boy Is Not Correct, He Is Flawed"

To me, this album is a beautiful story of memory and regret, all the joy, sorrow and rage of being young and blind and in love.

Yo, i got a soul voice 3:24

2:11 "and your love is a meme"

(THIS ISNT ALL ABOUT FALL OUT BOY BUT I WANTED TO SHARE IT) Patrick's voice is like a walk down an old neighborhood with huge houses (in my opinion Brendons voice is like being in a Vegas casino Tylers voice is like a good, long cry Gerard's voice is like hugging someone who's soft and warm, and never wanting to let them go

An FOB Classic. Timeless..

well I know I'm sure not alright after hearing this fucking masterpiece

*plays over the loudspeakers at school*

I vividly remember crying my eyes out to this song so much, and that's years ago now. this is still one of fob's songs that i'm the most emotionally attached to and i love it to bits

If this song doesn’t make a giant montage of everything great that’s ever happened to you play in your head we are very different people.

IM CRYING THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

this helped me with so many panic attacks

I get Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. vibes. This song is very special, it makes me want to cry. Fall Out Boy for Life!!!!

This song tastes like the summer of 2016, right before I entered high school. As a freshman in college, I'm experiencing some of those same scary, strangely magical feelings again, the ones that come with taking another step in life. This song feels so weirdly *right* again, like it applies to right now as well as my memories.

There is a Supernatural episode titled 'The Kids Are Alright'...

I love walking with my friends during PE and listening to this as we talk about how weird we are. It makes me feel so free. I will always love FOB, both pre and post hiatus.

I will always come back here to cry. I don’t know why but this is the song that always helps me get my emotions out

I want to hug my best friends while listening to this song and crying my soul out.

do tears give u acne?

This song is my favorite of the album! Makes me wanna cry, though 😭

This song gets me crying over memories, achievements and friendships I never had HOW

who's here in 2019? ugh the memories

this song makes me so sad...

I really wanna cry to this song because it's so beautiful but I just can't produce tears (Patrick really does have a soul voice)

going back to this song feels awesome

graduation: the kids aren't alright wedding: save rock and roll funeral: what a catch donnie
