I want to know what the child would do In place of me and you I want to know what the babe would say To make the anger dissipate If whole naivete could only rule our world We might at last have peace and all our animals Pure unbridled joy Look for the child, free of influence And you'll find your teacher Why are you all crying? Why did daddy die? Doesn't that man have a home? Mommy You know the child can only learn hate From the actions of our adults For we kill, we mame, we torture What would become of the babe who grows Without a parent's complex fears Petty jealousy, petty lies Look for the child, free of influence And you'll find your teacher Why are you all crying? Why did daddy die? Doesn't that man have a home? When i grow up, will i be just like you Mommy? Mommy? When the ships come down from the sky To mingle with our people Will it be easy to choose a representative? I want to know what the babe would ask Of our alien visitors Where are your toys? will you be my friend? Look for the child, free of influence And you'll have your leader Let 'em lead Why are you all crying? Why did daddy die? Doesn't that man have a home? When i grow up, will i be just like you Mommy? Why are you all crying? Why did daddy die? Doesn't that man have a home? When i grow up, will i be just like you Mommy? Mommy? Mommy?
