And The Children Laughing

Ah Well I've 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 whatever happened to peace Well open your eyes and you'll see children laughing voices singing hearts beating You're always talking right and talking 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 than you Well listen around and you'll hear children laughing voices singing hearts beating like they always do so what's wrong with you You're so blown up with anger about the world you write the songs about it all yet you don't even know your neighbour's name And now you want to go to 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 sickening attitude You strive to get ahead but you leave each other dead Can't you see children laughing voices singing hearts beating like they always do So what's wrong with you Children laughing voices singing hearts beating Children laughing voices singing hearts
