Then The Kids Took Over Lyrics - Why? - They Might Be Giants

The earth is our one home, 

The earth is so fragile, it seems. 

It's warmer, and warmer. 

And things have gone from strange to extreme. 

And then the kids took over. 

That's when the future began. 

And then the kids took over. 

They had an un-secret plan. 

And when the kids took over. 

They didn't walk, no, they ran. 

And then the kids took over. 

It was the future. 

Neglected, deflected. 

Can't undo what is already done. 

Aware now, with know-how. 

With power from the wind and the sun.

And then the kids took over. 

That's when the future began. 

And then the kids took over. 

They had an un-secret plan. 

And when the kids took over. 

They didn't walk, no, they ran. 

And then the kids took over. 

It was the future. 

(spoken) 

Listen up, I was stomping around with my giant carbon footprint, 

But now I got so tiny, you really gotta squint. 

I learned there was a lot I could do, 

Recycling, self-reliance, energy conservation, no matter how small. 

I even planted a tree, 

Now it's twelve feet tall.

And when the kids took over. 

They didn't walk, no, they ran. 

And then the kids took over. 

It was the future.
