Welcome To The World - 10cc

You’re through gestation so welcome to the world

We’ve still got vacancies just waiting to be filled

We’re still delivering ten thousand souls a day

And disproportionately packing them away

The starving of the multitudes and the feeding of the few

We’re only humanoid there’s nothing we can do

You must do something or we’ll all go up in smoke

We’d like to help but we’re afraid of losing votes

They never listen to you

They never listen to your cries

We’re not progressing we’re only marking time

You’re on your own

Think of your children

Think of your children

Are they welcome to the world?

If every Chinaman jumped up and down in sync

Then California would be sucked into the drink

You’ve all got bodies and a few of you got minds

We’d like to juse them but we never get the time

Though man’s achievements are a credit to us all

How come we’re stading with our backs against the wall?

One thousand congressmen assemble every day

They’ll send us packing on a dreadlock holiday

They’ll never listen to you

They’ll never listen to your cries

They’ll keep on talking and wasting precious time

You’re on your own

Think of your children

Think of your children

Look to your children

They’re only children

Are they welcome to the world?
