And the Children Laughing |
| Ah… |
| Well, I been working up a fever trying to |
| Straighten up the mess in my mind about this place |
| I can’t contain myself anymore |
| Can’t you see it’s written all over my face |
| Why don’t you get on your feet |
| It’s about time you got to think |
| What ever happened to peace |
| Well open your eyes and you’ll see children laughing |
| Voices singin', hearts a-beatin' ah… |
| You’re always talkin' right and talkin about |
| The world and its corruption and moral decay |
| But what you gonna do about it, nothing |
| 'cause you’re more like children than children while they play |
| Why, you’re so clean through and through you won’t shake hands |
| With a negro who’s maybe cleaner then you |
| Well listen around and you’ll hear children laughin' |
| Voices singin', hearts a-beatin' like they always do |
| So what’s wrong with you, ah… |
| You’re so blown up with anger about the world |
| You write the songs about |
| Yet you don’t even know your neighbors name |
| Now you want to go the the moon and live there |
| When you know it’ll only end up the same |
| How can he give you any gratitude |
| With your endless sickenin' attitude |
| You strive to get ahead |
| But you leave each other dead |
| Can’t you see, children laughin' |
| Voices singin', hearts beatin' like they always do |
| So what’s wrong with you, ah… |
| Children laughin', voices singin' hearts beatin' |
| Children laughin', voices singin |
