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. 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 lorryloads pumping petrol gas. and you make them long

and you make them tough. but they just go on and on

and it seems 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?

when you crack the sky

scrapers fill the air. 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?
