Where Do The Children Play?
Well, I think it's fine
Buildin' jumbo planes
Or takin' a ride
On a cosmic train
Switch on summer
From a slot machine
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
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 buildin' 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 changin' day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Bring tea for the Tillerman
Steak for the sun
Wine for the women who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away
'Cause while the sinners sin, the children play
Oh Lord, how they play and play
For that happy day, for that happy day
Buildin' jumbo planes
Or takin' a ride
On a cosmic train
Switch on summer
From a slot machine
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
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 buildin' 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 changin' day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Bring tea for the Tillerman
Steak for the sun
Wine for the women who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away
'Cause while the sinners sin, the children play
Oh Lord, how they play and play
For that happy day, for that happy day
