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...
