children cry on the street
they dont have enough to eat
mothers wait for days on end
a hopeless situation they can't mend
is it good for you? is it good for me?
i don't know how the world can sleep
it's just not right to close the door turn out the light
they'd better be the ones you love
the children ought to get some love
if no one else should ever get enough
they'd better be the ones you love
daddy waits there in a line a little work
he hopes to find something wrong
with times like these it's enough to bring a man down to his knees
is it good for you? is it good for me?
i dont know how the world can sleep
it can't be right to close the door turn off the light
(repeat chorus then repeat chorus again)
thinking of the children
you better be thinking about the children better be,
you better be, better be the ones you love better be,
you better be, better be the ones you love yeah,
yeah yeah (repeat bridgr, repeat chorus, fade)
