Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old man spat and cursed as he spoke
"It's all going to hell and the whole wor;d is broken"
That little kid is busy makin' plans
Save the whole world along with that old man
[Verse 2]
So as far as I can see
A better way for you and me
Is to let the children run the show
And not too long and we'll be good to go
[Verse 3]
All the girls and boys will sing
"Come tomorrow, we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we gon' find a way"
[Verse 4]
Yeah, as far as I can see
We should let the children lead the way
[Verse 5]
Bang, bang, you're dead, now you missed me for real
I got a bag of smoke, come on, let's make a deal
Bridges burn, but tomorrow is another day
To feed the world, and go outside and play
[Verse 6]
Yeah, farmers farm and the dancers dance all night
Lovers love and the fire fighters fight
We should let the children run the show
Not too long and we'll be good to go
[Verse 7]
All the girls and boys will sing
"Come tomorrow, we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we gon' find a way"
[Verse 8]
As far as I can see
We gotta let the children lead the way
[Verse 9]
A storm will rise (Storm will rise)
Out of innocent skies
And time will change
'Cause ya let the children play the game
[Verse 10]
All the girls and boys will sing
"Come tomorrow, we fix everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we gon' find a way"
[Verse 11]
All the girls and boys will sing
"Come tomorrow, we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we gon' find a way"
