Well, I think it's fine, building jumbo planes,
Taking a ride-— on a cosmic train,
Switch on summer... from a slot machine,
Yes, get what you wanna, if you want, 'cause you can get anything!

I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day,

But, tell me, where do the children play———? Hey, yeah!

||: / / / /__/ | / / / / :||(Twice)

Well, you roll on roads... over fresh green grass,
For your lorry loads... pumping petrol gas,
And you make them long, and you make them tough,
Cadd9 G6/B[/ch]
Eh, but they just go on, and on,
Cadd9 G6/B[/ch]
And it seems that you can't get off!

Oh, I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day,

But, tell me, where do the children play———? Hey, yeah! Oh,oh..

..Oh, oh,oh, oh! Oh,oh, oh! Oh,oh, oh!

Well, you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air,
But will you keep on building higher,
'Til there's no more room up there?

Cadd9 G6/B[/ch] Cadd9 G6/B[/ch]
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Cadd9 G6/B[/ch] Cadd9 G6/B[/ch] Em

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——,

But, tell me, where do the children play——–? Hey, yeah!

Doo – doo, doo -n- doo! Doo – doo, doo -n- doo!

Doo – doo, doo -n- doo! Doo – doo, doo – n – doo!
