Where Do The Children Play (Cat Stevens)

Well, I think it's fine buildin' jumbo-planes
Or takin' a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine
Yes, you can get what you want if you want, cos you can get anything now

I know we've come a long way
We're changin' day to day
But tell me: where do the children play?

Well, you roll on roads over fresh green grass
For your lorry loads pumpin' petrol gas
And you make them long and you make them tough
But they just go on and on and it seems that you can't get off

I know we've come a long way
We're changin' day to day
But tell me: where do the children play?

Well, you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
But will you keep on buildin' higher `til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die

I know we've come a long way
We're changin' day to day
But tell me: where do the children play?
