Lyrics for Song: Where Do The Children Play
Lyrics for Album: Those Were The Days [2005]
Well, I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine. yes
Get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.
I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas
And you make them long, and you make them tough
But they just go on and on
And it seems that you can't get off,
Oh, I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play
Well, you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
But, will you keep on building higher
'Til there's no more room up there
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?...
