No Time For Games Lyrics - Midnight Oil

The raising of children, the rearing of young 

Used to be simple but look what it's become 

The choice of career, the proper vocation 

Out of your hands, all for the needs of the nation 

No inhibitions with the modern child 

Wasted lessons or pleasure or pain 

Easy to follow your natural instinct 

Easy to follow, much too hard to learn 

Useless expressions and sporting aggression 

Don't waste my time, I can't wait for the end of the session 

What opportunity, the modern child? 

Waste passion and wasted mind 

Some kids got no time for playtime 

Some kids got no time for games 

Some kids got no time for playtime 

Some kids got no time for games
