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 |
