Children of the New World Lyrics by Daevid Allen

Twelve Selves

0

[Verse 1]
Tell me
What's it all about?
What is this funny old world
That we can’t do without?
Tell me why to die fills us with fear
La la la la la la la
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not the first, it's not the last time we’ll be here
We'll surely come again, yeah
Pick up or down those clothes of human flesh we wear
Soon we'll be learning to understand
[Chorus]
The children of the new world
And the different games they play
We made love all the nighttime
Turned out to bе the right time
Now therе's children everywhere
[Verse 2]
Tell me
Where you're really from
What is this funny old world
The human race has won?
Tell me why we argue like we do
La la la la la la la
[Pre-Chorus]
We rob and rape and kill and still don't understand
We only rob ourselves, yeah
And then we wonder why we suffer like we do
Soon we'll be learning to understand
[Chorus]
The children of the new world
Are the children of today
Soon they'll begin revolutionising
And reorganising
While the old world fades away, yeah
[Outro]
Let’s start today
