When I Grow Up Teacher: Ok class, ok everyone settle down Everyone settle down Um, as you all know we've been working Real hard on our school's essay's done Does any body have theirs to read frist Sammie: Mr.evans my essay is ready Teacher: Ok everybody sammie has the floor Sammie: When i grow up I wonder if people will be more afaid To cry then they are to die Will i be able to see a rainbow In a smog-filled sky? Will there be any trees alive? If not how will the plants survive? Will the internet have a website at Www.lifetimeairsupply When i grow up If i got bored and had nothing to do And me and my son built a conoe Would water thar use to be blue Be so pulluted it would give us the flu? Will a thousand dollars be enough for a shoe? Will i have to be like you? Letting money make a decison
For everything i do? When i grow up Will the existence of dolphins and whales Just be a story i tell? Starting with once upon a time... Ending with where did we fail? Will adults be the hammer and nail? Will schools be next door to jail? Will the truth be illegel to sell? When i grown up Will anyone be on the news For anything besides killing? Will those drug dealars still Be standing in front of my building? Will they ever learn how to love? Or stay afraid of the feeling? Will tv and music videos Still raise america's childern? When i grow up Will innocent kids still be wrongfully touched? Will students go home from schooll In a bulletproff bus? What if childern had no one to trust? That would hurt me so much And i wanna be happy when i grow up
