Neneh Cherry - 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.
