Lyrics

[00:30.66] Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
[00:38.32] Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
[00:46.24] Switch on summer from a slot machine
[00:53.60] Yes, get what you want to if you want,
[00:56.40] 'Cause you can get anything
[01:02.09] I know we've come a long way
[01:05.69] We're changing day to day
[01:08.89] But tell me, where do the children play?
[01:27.00] Well, you roll on roads
[01:30.50] Over fresh green grass
[01:34.68] For your lorry loads
[01:37.15] Pumping petrol gas
[01:41.62] And you make them long
[01:45.68] And you make them tough
[01:49.68] But they just go on and on
[01:52.68] And it seems that you can't get off
[01:56.31] Oh, I know we've come a long way
[02:01.84] We're changing day to day
[02:05.37] But tell me, where do the children play?
[02:44.55] Well you've cracked the sky
[02:47.08] Scrapers fill the air
[02:51.55] But will you keep on building higher
[02:54.86] 'Til there's no more room up there?
[02:58.36] Will you make us laugh
[03:01.83] Will you make us cry?
[03:06.34] Will you tell us when to live
[03:09.47] Will you tell us when to die?
[03:14.97] I know we've come a long way
[03:18.20] We're changing day to day
[03:21.85] But tell me, where do the children play?
[03:29.77]
