[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 grass
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 that 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 and 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?
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 grass
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 that 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 and 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?
