The TV’s on fire, they’re fightin’ a war But Huntley and Brinkley don’t care anymore And the population sits there and it snores But if all the poor lost children in the world were at the door * Could they sit there and pretend that they are blind They’d have to get up and open the door and see the human race They’ve always been there, there’s gonna be more of the human race People have forgotten how to be people The Pope has decided he’s closin’ the door The Ecumenical Council don’t care anymore And the population lays there and it soars But if all the hungry children in the world cried at the door * I wonder what they’d ask for when they pray They’d have to get up and open the door and see the human race They’ve always been there, there’s gonna be more of the human race People have forgotten how to be people The cool mornin’ sun shines as black as the night * But the factory owners say the air is alright While the population breathes the profits soar But if all the future children in the world were at the door I think the sight would take their breath away They’d have to get up and open the door and see the human race They’ve always been there, there’s gonna be more of the human race People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people People have forgotten how to be people
