Well, I think it's fine
Building jumbo planes
Or taking a ride
On a cosmic train
Switch on summer
From a slot machine
And 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
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 'em 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 changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
(Where do the children play?)
(Where do the children play?)
Well, you cracked the sky
Scrapers fill the air
But will you keep on building higher
Till there's no more room up there?
And will you make us laugh
Will you make us cry?
And 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
Tell me, where do the children play?
(Where do the children play?)
(Where do the children play?)
