And the Children Laughing - Beegees

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…

You’re always talkin' right and talkin about

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 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
