Intro:

Cm

Verse 1:
Cm
   You're through gestation so welcome to the world

We've still got vacancies just waiting to be filled
Dm
   We're still delivering ten thousand souls a day
Cm
   And disproportionately packing them away

Verse 2:
    Dm
The starving of the multitudes and the feeding of the few

We're only humanoid, there's nothing we can do
Em
   You must do something or we'll all go up in smoke
Dm
   We'd like to help but we're afraid of losing votes

Pre-Chorus:
F7                       Am
   They'll never listen to you
F7                       Am     A7
   They'll never listen to your cries
Dm               Bb7            Am           A7/C#
   We're not progressing, we're only marking time
               Ddim7
You're on your own

Chorus:
Eb               F/Eb
   Think of your children
Eb               F/Eb
   Think of your children
Eb          F/Eb           Gm
   Are they welcome to the world?

Verse 3:
Dm
   If every Chinaman jumped up and down in sync

Then California would be sucked into the drink
Em
   You've all got bodies and a few of you got minds
Dm                                             Ddim7
   We'd like to use them but we never get the time

Verse 4:
Dm
   Though man's achievements are a credit to us all

How come we're standing with our backs against the wall?
Em
   One thousand congressmen assemble every day
Dm
   They'll send us packing on a dreadlock holiday

Pre-Chorus:
F7                       Am
   They'll never listen to you
F7                       Am     A7
   They'll never listen to your cries
Dm                   Bb7       Am               A7/C#
   They'll keep on talking and wasting precious time
               Ddim7
You're on your own

Chorus:
Eb               F/Eb
   Think of your children

   Think of your children
Eb              F/Eb
   Look to your children
D7              Gm  Gm/F
   They're only children
Eb          F                Gdim7
   Are they welcome to the world?
