Lyric Welcome to the world

10CC - Welcome to the world

You re through gestation so welcome to the world
We ve still got vacancies just waiting to be filled
We re still delivering ten thousand souls a day
And disproportionately packing them away

The starving of the multitudes and the feeding of the few
We re only humanoid there s nothing we can do
You must do something or we ll all go up in smoke
We d like to help but we re afraid of losing votes

They never listen to you
They never listen to your cries
We re not progressing we re only marking time
You re on your own

Think of your children
Think of your children
Are they welcome to the world?

If every Chinaman jumped up and down in sync
Then California would be sucked into the drink
You ve all got bodies and a few of you got minds
We d like to juse them but we never get the time

Though man s achievements are a credit to us all
How come we re stading with our backs against the wall?
One thousand congressmen assemble every day
They ll send us packing on a dreadlock holiday

They ll never listen to you
They ll never listen to your cries
They ll keep on talking and wasting precious time
You re on your own

Think of your children
Think of your children
Look to your children
They re only children
Are they welcome to the world?
