They Might Be Giants - Then The Kids Took Over lyrics

The earth is our one home The earth is so fragile it seems It's warmer and warmer And things have gone from strange to extreme And then the kids took over That's when the future began And when the kids took over They had an un-secret plan And when the kids took over They didn't walk no they ran It was the future Neglected, deflected Can't undo what is already done Aware now with know-how With power from the wind and sun And then the kids took over That's when the future began And when the kids took over They had an un-secret plan And when the kids took over They didn't walk no they ran It was the future Spoken: Listen up! I was stomping around with my giant carbon footprint. But now I got so tiny you really gotta squint. I learned there was a lot I can do. Recycling, self-reliance, energy conservation no matter how small. I even planted a tree, now it's twelve feet tall. And then the kids took over That's when the future began And when the kids took over They had an un-secret plan And when the kids took over They didn't walk no they ran It was the future
