Save the Children (Live)
You know uuhhuuh uuuhm
Uuhhuh a couple a couple years ago
Uuhhuh we were brought in contact with a group
Of people who call “Infact”
And “Infact” was an organization that had been put together national
To protest the fact that there still infant formulal being
Uuhuah expolited to certain positive “Third World”
And ofcourse this has become an important matter
In terms of the health of the children there
So we’re remind of a song that we had done
In a and a very important song
That somehow as you go along and you write more songs
You seem to to get away sometimes
Frome those you should have stayed with
So in that respect we like to do a song for you thaty we did fort hem
This is call “Save the Children”

And if you're driving through the country on a lazy afternoon
Or you're watching your children playing after school
They seem to be so unaware of I know
The things that they’ll soon have to take care of say

And we've got to do something yeahehey yeah to save the children
Yeaheah cause soon it’s gonna be their turns to try and save World
And right now they seem to play such a small part of nohohohooh
The things that they’ll soon be right at the heart of us say
And we've got to do something yeahehey yeah to save the children
Soon it’s gonna be soon it’s gonna be their turns
To try and save what World?
And if we know all we say we know about the problems there
Then why can't we do something just one thing to try and solve them? Say

And we've got to do something yeahehey yeah to save the children
And we've got to do something yeahehey yeah to save the children
We just can’t keep doing nothin’ can’t keep doing nothin’
