And The Children Laughing Lyrics

And The Children Laughing

Ah...... 
Well, I been working up a fever trying to 
straighten up the mess in my mind about this place 
I can't contain myself anymore 
Can't you see it's written all over my face 
Why don't you get on your feet 
It's about time you got to think 
what ever happened to peace 
Well open your eyes and you'll see children laughing, 
voices singin' ,hearts a-beatin' ah..... 

Your always talkin' right and talkin about 
the world and it's corruption and moral decay 
But what you gonna do about it , nothing , 
'cause you're more like children then children while they play 
Why you're so clean through and through you won't shake hands 
with a negro who's maybe cleaner then you 
Well listen around and you'll hear children laughin' , 
voices singin' , hearts a-beatin' like they always do 
So what's wrong with you , ah... 

You're so blown up with anger about the world 
You write the songs about 
Yet you don't even know your neighbors name 
Now you want to go the the moon and live there 
when you know it'll only end up the same 
How can he give you any gratitude, 
with your endless sickenin' attitude 
You strive to get ahead 
but you leave each other dead 
Can't you see , children laughin' , 
voices singin' , hearts beatin' like they always do 
So what's wrong with you , ah... 

Children laughin' , voices singin' hearts beatin' 
Children laughin' , voices singin , (fade)
