Ask The Kids Lyrics - Minor Detail

Have you asked your kids today 

why they feel dissatisfied? 

Have you told them that they must succeed 

then turned around and walk away 

Have you asked your kids today 

why they feel dissatisfied? 

Do you know what they want of you 

Have you really listened when they replied 

They're out of school 

and they can't get work 

They stand around and watch the sky 

They read the papers looking for jobs 

Everyday is the same reply 

They wonder will they have a choice 

to fulfill their own dreams 

(Ask, ask, ask the kids) 

They wander around 

They've nothing to do 

Empty inside they're lost and alone 

They seldom hear words of hope 

From parents who've got no time 

They wonder will they have a choice 

to fulfill their own dreams 

Have you asked your kids today 

why they feel dissatisfied? 

Have you told them that they must succeed 

then turned around and walked away 

Have you asked your kids today 

why they feel dissatisfied? 

Do you know what they want of you 

Have you really listened when they replied 

They find their house is not a home 

They don't receive a helping hand 

They can't see why they're not understood 

and never hear supporting words 

Perfection's not what kids demand 

All the want is love and praise 

(Ask, ask, ask the kids) 

Sometimes its good when parents say 

We don't always know the way 

When together they can share their doubts 

Their kids might then be satisfied 

Perfection's not what kids demand 

All they want is love and praise 

It's a fact
