The next generation Lyrics

Autumn Breeze, a Spring Tease

summer days and winter nights

The seasons change and that's a fact

Is it not

Domo Arigato, Danke, Merci

Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons

here's hoping you'll know the right time when it comes 

like I did 'cause I knew though nobody told

me a damn thing about how The world grows 

right here before you, you can't even blink If you do you'll miss it so take time to think 

about your position, your place in this world 

about what you're here for so check it out girl 

Boys to the right and you're in this too 

come on be real now Can we count on you 

to be strong and to love us like Through thick and thin with your heart and your soul not the size of your dick. 

Yeah, Uh huh yeah uh huh

So check this out 

hey what's this sitting in my lap 

Why it's the Next Generation. 

And do you know what comes from the best love in the world you could possibly ever have,

Yes it's the next generation 

The children are the chosen ones, 

society's got it's piorities Wrong. The schools are closing down. 

Don't be messing with our future - black babies, white babies,

Quarter Puerto Ricans, two sixths Chinese, 

any combination you could possibly imagine, 

but this important as the ground We walk on, people are people you know what I mean, 

Even the baby with a portaphone 

attached to its' buggy Pushed by a clone 

and the black market baby that unwanted baby. 

For 50,000 it belonged to the rich 

well he didn't like his face,

She said it didn't matter 

'cause her husband was a surgeon.

Ha ha ha ha - urr - sick

Ain't ain't that ain't that sick - 

shucks it breaks my heart. 

Operate on a baby urr sick. 

Hey what's that sitting in my lap 

Why it's the Next Generation. 

And do you know what comes from the best love in the world you could possibly ever have,

Yes it's the next generation 

And is it true that even though they keep you awake at night 

Sometimes and mess on your clothes that you worry about 

Whether it's really worth the sacrifices that we all have to make 

no matter how rich or poor 

Why yes they're the next generation honey 

(free up)

Push push push, in the bush down on your knees with the birds and bees 

your basic needs is what you're fulfilling 

This dude down this way must be making a killing

'Cause then in the morning 

she finds herself illing

You planted a seed that won't grow a tree

'Cause the love that's showing is a baby growing

Inside there's a life that's well worth knowing, knowin, knowin

Ha ha ha ha that's nasty ain't it

If you're gonna do it, think before you do it and do it right - right

Hey what's this sitting in my lap 

Why it's the Next Generation oh yeah 

And do you know what comes from the best love in the world you could possibly ever have,

Yes it's the next generation 

And is it true that even though they keep you awake at night 

Sometimes and mess on your clothes that you worry about 

Whether it's really worth the sacrifices that we all have to make 

no matter how rich or poor 

Why yes they're the next generation honey 

You know, you know you see some people look at them right,

Old people, guys on the corner holding on, girls right walking

Arm in arm, spittin' on the pavement or whatever

And you wonder right if they've forgotten or if they just

Can't remember that they ever were small one time,

'Cause god knows we got to save the babies right,

'Cause if we don't save the babies 

we ain't Gonna have a world to live in right

And god knows we love this world right, 

ain't that, right so right.

Right right right... right uh uh...
