said where did all of the old songs go?
Kids sure play funny music these days,
and they play it in the strangest ways.
it was peaceful back when I was a child.
Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys
are trying to be heard above your noise
and the lonely voice of you cries,
A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
looks up and says, Daddy, what is war?
Son, that's when people fight and die.
A little boy of three says, Daddy, why?
Being taught the golden rule
It may be his turn to lay his life down
Can you blame the voice of youth
For asking, what is truth?
A young man sittin' on the witness stand
The man with the book says,
Repeat after me, I solemnly swear
The man looked down at his long hair
And although the young man
Nobody seemed to hear any more
It didn't really matter if the truth was there
It was the cut of his clothes
and the length of his hair
And the lonely voice of youth cries,
A young girl dancing to the latest beat
Has found new ways to move her feet
A young man speaking in the city square
Trying to tell somebody that he cares
Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild
Are gonna be the leaders in a little while
This world's waking to a newborn day
And I solemnly swear that
You better help that voice of youth find
And the lonely voice of youth cries
4.0
