[Verse 1] Well, I think it's fine, building jumbo planes Or taking a ride on a cosmic train Switch on summer from a slot machine Yeah, you get what you want if you want it, cause you can get anything [Chorus] I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? [Verse 2] Well, you roll on roads over fresh green gra** For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas And you make 'em long, and you make them tough But they just go on and on, it seems you can't get off [Chorus] 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? [Bridge] When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air Will you keep on building higher till 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? [Chorus] 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? Where do they play?
