But will you keep on building higher till there's no more room up there
Oh, I know we've come a long way
Switch on summer from a slot machine
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
But tell me, where do the children play?
We're changing day to day
Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything
We're changing day to day
And you make them long, and you make them tough
For your lorry loads, pumping petrol gas
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
I know we've come a long way
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
I know we've come a long way
