Intro:
Bridge:
Well I think it's fine,  building jumbo planes
Or taking a ride   on a cosmic train
Switch on summer   from a slot machine
Yes, get what you want to if you want
'cos you can get anything
Chorus:
I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Repeat Intro (Tab Only)
Well you roll on roads  over fresh green grass
For your lorryloads   pumping petrol gas
And you make them long,  and you make them tough
But they just go on and on
And it seems you can't get off   Oh,
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
When you crack the sky,   scrapers fill the air
Will you keep on building    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?
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Do doot do, do de do doot do
Do de do doot do do de do do
Bridge:
Ending:
