Children Lyrics by V V Brown

NOW That’s What I Call Music! 40 [US]

2011

[Verse 1:]
Buildings come crumbling
Right to the ground
And I can't help noticing
When I'm looking around
When I'm looking around

Windows can't see in 'em
To let me lies
We won't be taking it
Look 'em right in the eyes
Look 'em right in the eyes

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, if I had my way
I'd throw everything away
I'd draw it all up again
Keep walking with me

Oh, if I had my way
I'd give everything I have
To make everything okay

Sing it with me

[Chorus x2:]
Darkness falls and kills the light
Don't surrender, be alright
Fuse blow up like dynamite
And the children keep on singing, singing

[Verse 2:]
Walking down Penny Lane
Walk, walk of gold
Follow the rainbow
To the end of the road
To the end of the road

Still got me nothing
Nothing but road
They say "It's funny"
I'm not getting the joke
I'm not getting the joke

[Repeat Pre-Chorus:]

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Chiddy:]
Chid
Miss V.V. Brown
I'll hold you down

Watching the TV, man
Kids just want to be famous
And be a big star
Rather be known than be nameless

If I had my away
I'd draw it all up again
Can't take a loss
We must stood up and win

Momma was hurting
And she couldn't spend a penny more
But why nobody have real dreams anymore

Forget the issues and worries
This is something about
Supporting optimistic dreams
When it's crumbling down

[Repeat Chorus:]

And the children keep on singing, singing [repeat x2]
