Where Do the Children Play?

But tell me, where do the children play?

'Til there's no more room up there?
Switch on summer from a slot machine
Oh, I know we've come a long way
Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air

I know we've come a long way
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Well you roll on roads, over fresh green grass
And it seems that you can't get off
Yes, get what you want to if you want
But tell me, where do the children play?
And you make them long and you make them tough
I know we've come a long way

Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
We're changing day to day
We're changing day to day
We're changing day to day
'Cause you can get anything
For your lorry loads, pumping petrol gas
But they just go on and on

But will you keep on building higher
