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
