O Children

Lyrics

Pass me that lovely little gun
 My dear, my darling one
 The cleaners are coming, one by one
 You don't even wanna let them start
 ♪
 They're knocking now upon your door
 They measure the room, they know the score
 They're mopping up the butcher's floor
 Of your broken little hearts
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh, children
 Forgive us now for what we've done
 It started out as a bit of fun
 Here, take these before we run away
 The keys to the gulag
 Oh, children
 ♪
 Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
 Children
 
 Rejoice, rejoice
 Come on, come on
 ♪
 Come on, come on
 Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
 They're gathering 'round with all my friends
 We're older now and the light is dim
 And you are only just beginning
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh, children
 We have the answer to all your fears
 It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
 It's round about and it's somewhere here
 Lost amongst our winnings
 Oh, children
 ♪
 Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
 Children
 Rejoice, rejoice
 The cleaners have done their job on you
 They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
 They've hosed you down, you're good as new
 And they're lining up to inspect you
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh, children
 Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
 He's found the answer that we lost
 We're all weeping now, weeping because
 There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
 Oh, children
 Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
 Children
 Rejoice, rejoice
 Hey little train, we're jumping on
 The train that goes to the Kingdom
 We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
 The train ain't even left the station
 Hey little train, wait for me
 I once was blind but now I see
 Have you left a seat for me?
 Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
 Hey little train, wait for me
 Was held in chains but now I'm free
 I'm hanging in there, don't you see
 In this process of elimination (children)
 Hey little train, we're jumping on
 The train that goes to the Kingdom
 We are happy, Ma, we are having fun (ooh, children)
 Beyond my wildest expectation (ooh, children)
 Hey little train, we're jumping on
 The train that goes to the Kingdom
 We're happy, Ma, we're having fun (ooh, children)
 The train ain't even left the station (ooh, children)
 Hey little train, wait for me
 I once was blind but now I see, ooh-ooh-ooh
