Lyrics

CHILDRENS CHILDREN by Scott Detweiler

On a green bench in the park two men were talking
The gravity had pulled the youthness from their face
Blame what they see on children’s children
“Just look at what they’ve done and are doing to our world”

But isn’t that what they said back in Egypt?
When they extracted from the earth
The rocks to build their tombs?
Once I had a toy with all the glass inside
Kaleidoscope I think the proper name
I had to know just what was in the tube
So I opened it and it never was the same

Children’s children
Children’s children

Progress can’t stop because it’s tired
You know it’s always on the run ever since day one
Blame what they see on children’s children
“Just look at what they’ve done and are doing to our world”

But isn’t that what they said back in Egypt?
When they extracted from the earth
The rocks to build their tombs?
Once I had a toy with all the glass inside
Kaleidoscope I think the proper name
I had to know just what was in the tube
So I opened it and it never was
It never was, it never was the same
Was the same, was the same
Was the same

Children’s children are dancing in the streets
They don’t have much to go on except for what their eyes can see
And I’ll be sure and write you if I can ever get that far
If I can ever get that far
Whoa
