Where Do The Children Play?

Where Do The Children Play? - Yusuf / Cat Stevens

Written by：Cat Stevens

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

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

For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas

And you make them long and you make them tough

But they just go on and on

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

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

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
