When I Grow Up (Interlude) - Sammie

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?

Mr. Evans, my essay is ready

Ok everybody, Sammie has the floor

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 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?

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
