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)
Well, I been working up a fever trying to
