Where Do The Children Play
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I think it's fine
Buildin' jumbo planes
Or takin' 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 changin' day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well, you roll on roads
Over fresh green grass
For your lorry loads
Pumpin' 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 changin' 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 buildin' higher
till 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 changin' day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
