Intro

             
    

Verse

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes 
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train 
Switch on summer from a slot machine 
Yes, get what you want to if you want 'cos 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

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass 
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas 
And you make them long, and you make them tough 
But they just go on and on, and 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?               

Verse

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air 
Will 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? 

Chorus

I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day--hey
But tell me, where do the children play?  
Do doot do, do de do doot do 
Do de do doot do do de do do
