Letras Then the Kids Took Over - They Might Be Giants

Then the Kids Took Over

The earth is our one home,\nThe earth is so fragile, it seems.\nIt’s warmer, and warmer.\nAnd things have gone from strange to extreme.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nThat’s when the future began.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nThey had an un-secret plan.\nAnd when the kids took over.\nThey didn’t walk, no, they ran.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nIt was the future.\nNeglected, deflected.\nCan’t undo what is already done.\nAware now, with know-how.\nWith power from the wind and the sun.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nThat’s when the future began.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nThey had an un-secret plan.\nAnd when the kids took over.\nThey didn’t walk, no, they ran.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nIt was the future.\n(spoken)\nListen up, I was stomping around with my giant carbon footprint,\nBut now I got so tiny, you really gotta squint.\nI learned there was a lot I could do,\nRecycling, self-reliance, energy conservation, no matter how small.\nI even planted a tree,\nNow it’s twelve feet tall.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nThat’s when the future began.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nThey had an un-secret plan.\nAnd when the kids took over.\nThey didn’t walk, no, they ran.\nAnd then the kids took over.\nIt was the future.
