Little boy lost in games of make believe
Making up names and friends who play for free
Too many people in the real world
Telling him to be seen but never heard
He's having a tough time keepin' up at school
Tough enough just remembering all the rules
He's learning the first few facts of livin'
Little mistakes stay unforgiven
And trouble comes when you don't know what you've done
Why don't you give (give a little bit)
Give the kid a brеak
Little girl lost in dreams and magazines
Evеryone laughs they call her Movie Queen
Nobody shows no understanding
Nobody shows her dreams that can be
Made to come true she's stuck with making do
Why don't you give (give a little bit)
Give the kid a break
All the hard (all the hard, hard times)
The hard times can wait
Why don't you give (why not give)
Give a little bit (give the kid)
For the future's sake (give the kid)
Give the kid a break
Too many kids are wondering: What's the use?
Every time they ask they get abused
Too many questions go unanswered
Too many kids are taking chances
Trying to find one good reason why
Why don't you give (give a little bit)
Give the kid a break
All the hard (all the hard, hard times)
The hard times can wait
Why don't you give (why not give)
Give a little bit (give the kid)
For the future's sake (give the kid)
Give the kid a break
