Lyrics

What about the children Playin' in the streets Dreaming of that good life No shoes on their feet? Where is their mama, where is their daddy? They need some badly We all agree, yeah We can all agree, yeah, huh It doesn't matter when life is shattered To honest people like you, yeah Honest people like you, yeah Mm, what about that good girl Workin' on the street Giving up that good, good So her babies can eat? Tell me, what would you do if you were in her shoes? It wasn't her dream, we all agree Yes, we all agree, yeah Ah, it really doesn't matter when life is shattered To honest people like you, yeah Honest people like you, yeah (You know what we're talkin' about) What about the children? Life ain't what it seems What about the children? All their broken dreams Everyday's a struggle Life just not a dream No one gives a damn (come on) Makes a mother scream, oh-oh, yeah, yeah-yeah Make your woman scream What about that good man Locked up from the streets Trying to make a dollar To put shoes on his baby's feet, now? Their mama's working from time to service They need somebody, we all agree now, yeah We can all agree, yeah, yeah Well, it doesn't matter when life is shattered To honest people like you Honest people like you, yeah, oh (What about the children?) What about them babies? What about the children? What about the little, don't somebody care? (What about the children?) Why are you so heartless? Why do you not care? (Why don't you've children?) Don't you love the babies? (What about the children?) What about the babies? What about the homeless? What about the stabbing? (What about the children?) Why are you so heartless? Why do you not care? If you want the children You have got to care (What about the children?) I can't take it no more, ooh (What about the children?) We not playin', y'all
