Garbage - Where Do the Children Play? Lyrics

Well, I think it's fine
Building jumbo planes
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine
Yeah, you get what you want if you want it
Cause you can get anything

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

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

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

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air
Will you keep on building higher till
There's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live
And tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Where do the children play?
Where do the children play?
Where do they play?
