Where Do the Children Play? lyrics

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

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 and 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?
