Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
D G D G 
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
D G D G 
Switch on summer from a slot machine
D G D G
Yes, get what you want to if you want 'cos you can get anything
Em A Em A
I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
Em A D G D G D G D G
But tell me, where do the children play?

D G D G 
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
C G C G 
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off 

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

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