Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes

Or taking a ride on a cosmic train

Switch on a summer from a slot machine

Yes you can get what you want to 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?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass

With your heavy loads pumping petrol gas

And you make them long and you make them tough

And you just go on and on and it seems you can't get off

I know we've come a long way

We're changing day to day

But tell me, where do the children play?

Crack the sky, scrapers fill the air

But you keep on building higher'

Til 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?

I know we've come a long way

We're changing day to day

But tell me, where do the children play?

Tell me, where, where do the children play?

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes

Or taking a ride on a cosmic train

But where do the children play?

Just tell me, where do the children play?
