Lyrics
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Well, I've 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
Whatever happened to peace?
Well, open your eyes and you'll see
Children laughing
Voices singing
Hearts are beating
Ah, ah, ah, ah
You're always talking, biting, talking 'bout the world
And its corruption and moral decay
But what you gonna do about it? Nothing
'Cause you're more like children than children while they play
Why, you're so clean through and through
You won't shake hands with a Negro
Who's maybe cleaner than you
Well, listen around and you'll hear
Children laughing
Voices singing
Hearts are beating
Like they always do
So what's wrong with you?
Ah, ah, ah, ah
You're so blown up with anger about the world
You're writing songs about it all
Yet you don't even know your neighbor's name
And now you wanna go to the moon and live there
When you know it'll end up just the same
How can you give you any gratitude
With your endless sickening attitude?
You strive to get ahead
But you leave each other dead
Can't you see?
Children laughing
Voices singing
Hearts are beating
Like they always do
So what's wrong with you?
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
Children laughing
Voices singing
Hearts are beating
Children laughing
Voices singing
Hearts are beating
