O Children |
Pass me that lovely little gun |
My dear, my darling one |
The cleaners are coming, one by one |
You don't even want to let them start |
They are knocking now upon your door |
They measure the room, they know the score |
They're mopping up the butcher's floor |
Of your broken little hearts |
O children |
Forgive us now for what we've done |
It started out as a bit of fun |
Here, take these before we run away |
The keys to the gulag |
O children |
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice |
Children |
Rejoice, rejoice |
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim |
They're gathering round with all my friends |
We're older now, the light is dim |
And you are only just beginning |
O children |
We have the answer to all your fears |
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear |
It's round about, it's somewhere here |
Lost amongst our winnings |
O children |
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice |
Children |
Rejoice, rejoice |
The cleaners have done their job on you |
They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove |
They've hosed you down, you're good as new |
They're lining up to inspect you |
O children |
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost |
He's found the answer that was lost |
We're all weeping now, weeping because |
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you |
O children |
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice |
Children |
Rejoice, rejoice |
Hey little train! |
We are all jumping on |
The train that goes to the Kingdom |
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun |
And the train ain't even left the station |
Hey, little train! |
Wait for me! |
I once was blind but now |
I see Have you left a seat for me? |
Is that such a stretch of the imagination? |
Hey little train! |
Wait for me! |
I was held in chains but now I'm free |
I'm hanging in there, don't you see |
In this process of elimination |
Hey little train! |
We are all jumping on |
The train that goes to the Kingdom |
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun |
It's beyond my wildest expectation |
Hey little train! |
We are all jumping on |
The train that goes to the Kingdom |
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun |
And the train ain't even left the station |
