Lyrics

Well I (D)think it’s fine,

build ing (D)jum bo planes

or (D)tak ing a ride

on a (D)cos mic train.

(D)Switch on sum mer

from a (D)slot ma chine.

Yes, (D)get what you want to if you (G)want, ’cause you can get (D)an y thing.

I know we’ve come a (A)long way,

we’re chang ing day to day.

But tell me, (A)where do the child ren (D)play

Well you (D)roll on roads

o ver (D)fresh green grass,

for your (D)lor ry loads

pump ing (D)pet rol gas.

And you (D)make them long

and you (D)make them tough

but they (C)just go on and on and it seems that you (C)can’t get off.

I know we’ve come a (A)long way,

we’re chang ing day to day.

But tell me, (A)where do the child ren (D)play?

Well you’ve (D)cracked the sky,

scrap ers (D)fill the air

but will you (D)keep on build ing (G)high er ’til there’s no more (D)room up there?

Will you (C)make us laugh,

will you (C)make us cry,

will you (C)tell us when to live, will you tell us (C)when to die?

I know we’ve (A)come a long way,

we’re chang ing day to day.

But tell me, (A)where do the child ren (D)play?

(D)Doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo, (D)doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo.

(D)Doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo, (D)doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo.
