Letra de «Where Do the Children Play»
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
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 listen, 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
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
Give them a future
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
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 listen, you better pay attention)
