Where Do the Children Play?

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?
