When I Grow Up (interlude) Lyrics - From The Bottom To The Top - Sammie

(Teacher) 

Ok class ok everybody settle down 

Everybody settle down 

Um as you all know we've been working 

Real hard on getting our school essays done 

Does anybody have theirs to read first? 

(Sammie) 

Mr. Evans my essay is ready 

(Teacher) 

Ok everybody Sammie has the floor

(Sammie) 

When I grow up 

I wonder if people will be more afraid 

To cry than they are to die 

Will I be able to see a rainbow 

In a smog-filled sky? 

Will there be any trees alive? 

If not, how will the planet survive? 

Will the Internet have a web-site at 

www.lifetimeairsupply? 

When I grow up 

If I got bored and had nothing to do 

And me and my son built a canoe 

Would water that used to be blue 

Be so polluted it would give us the flu? 

Will a thousand dollars be enough for a shoe? 

Photos 

Will I have to be like you? 

Letting money make a decision 

For everything that I do? 

When I grow up 

Will the existence of dolphins and whales 

Just be story I tell? 

Starting with "Once upon a time..." 

Ending with "Where did we fail?" 

Will adults be the hammer and nail? 

Will schools be next door to jails? 

Will the truth be illegal to sell? 

When I grow up 

Will anyone be on the news 

For anything besides killing? 

Will those drug dealers still 

Be standing in front of my building? 

Will they ever learn how to love? 

Or stay afraid of the feeling? 

Will tv and music videos 

Still raise America's children? 

When I grow up 

Will innocent kids still be 

Wrongfully touched? 

Will students go home from school 

In a bulletproof bus? 

What if children had no one to trust? 

That would hurt me so much 

And I wanna be happy when I grow up
