Children of the World - Donovan

Some of us believe in communism

Some of us believe in capitalism

Some of us believe in spiritualism

Some of us believe in materialism

Some mothers believe in heavy dandy

Some fathers believe in understanding

Some of us believe in total freedom

Some of us believe in laying the rules on

But the children believe in friends

For the children of the world

Every boy and girl

All they’ll know is what we teach 'em

Most of us fail when we try to reach 'em

For the children believe in having friends

Children believe in friends

Children believe in having friends

Children believe in friends

Some of us believe in Hare Krishna

Some of us believe in Jesus Saves Ya

Some of us believe in oblivion

Some of us believe in David Niven

Some of us believe in fighting our mate

Some of us believe in the brotherhood state

Some of us believe in analysing

Some of us believe in humanising

For the children of the world

Every boy and girl

All they’ll know is what we teach 'em

Most of us fail when we try to reach 'em

For the children believe in having friends

Children believe in friends

Children believe in having friends

Children believe in friends

But the children believe in friends

For the children of the world

Every boy and girl

All they’ll know is what we teach 'em

Most of us fail when we try to reach 'em

For the children believe in having friends

Children believe in friends

Children believe in having friends

Children believe in friends

Children believe in friends

Children believe in friends…
