Cat Stevens - Where Do The Children Play lyrics

rate me

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.<br>Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.<br>Switch on summer from a slot machine.<br>Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.<br><br>I know we've come a long way,<br>We're changing day to day,<br>But tell me, where do the children play? <br><br>Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.<br>For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.<br>And you make them long, and you make them tough.<br>But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.<br><br>Oh, I know we've come a long way,<br>We're changing day to day,<br>But tell me, where do the children play? <br><br>Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.<br>But will you keep on building higher<br>'til there's no more room up there? <br>Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry? <br>Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die? <br><br>I know we've come a long way,<br>We're changing day to day,<br>But tell me, where do the children play?
