Where Do The Children Play? Lyrics

Come here boys

Playin' in the schoolyard (watch out boys! )

I need to have your time and attention

Oh I've got crack and things like that (what, oh no, don't do it! )

And I guarantee your money back (watch out boys! )

If the trip ain't right (what are you talking about?)

Come here girls (no! )

Standin' on the corner (watch out girls! )

I need to have your time and attention (don't listen, stop talking that smack! )

Well, you work for me, your rent is free (what, don't listen, go back home! )

And promise job security

If you throw it right (give it up! )

We look in the mirror every morning

Not realizing there's a warning

These are our children

Don't let them slip away

We've got to uplift them

Give them guidance

Show them a future free of sadness

If we ignore (this)

Well it's on ya

[Chorus:]

Where do the children play?

They're living a come what may

Where will they play?

They can make it

Just lead them on their way

Oh Lord, they're living in a wicked world

Where will they play?

You know you better find out

'Cause their future begins today

Come here kids (Yo, please listen! )

Searching in the darkness (we've got something, listen up! )

I need to have your time and attention (just listem, you better pay attention)

It's okay to lay your blame (tell 'em, Lord)

I died for you so with no shame (you can call)

You can call my name

We're reading the labels every morning

Not seeing the writings or the warnings

They're living in a world not their own

Show them a place where love is holy

Lead them away from sad and lonely

If you don't do it

Well, It's on ya

[Chorus]

Give them a future!
