  • Revolution in their minds, the children start to march
    Against the world in which they have to live
    And all the hate that's in their hearts
    They're tired of being pushed around
    And told just what to do
    They'll fight the world until they've won
    And love comes flowing through, yeah

    Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
    Will the sun rise up tomorrow bring in peace in any way?
    Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
    Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? Yeah

    So, you children of the world
    Listen to what I say
    If you want a better place to live in
    Spread the word today
    Show the world that love is still alive, you must be brave
    Or you children of today are children of the grave, yeah
