Save the Children (Live)
You know uuhhuuh uuuhm
Uuhhuh a couple a couple years ago
Uuhhuh we were brought in contact with a group
Of people who call “Infact”
And “Infact” was an organization that had been put together national
To protest the fact that there still infant formulal being
Uuhuah expolited to certain positive “Third World”
And ofcourse this has become an important matter
In terms of the health of the children there
So we’re remind of a song that we had done
In a and a very important song
That somehow as you go along and you write more songs
You seem to to get away sometimes
Frome those you should have stayed with
So in that respect we like to do a song for you thaty we did fort hem
This is call “Save the Children”
And if you're driving through the country on a lazy afternoon
Or you're watching your children playing after school

And we've got to do something yeahehey yeah to save the children

To try and save what World?
And if we know all we say we know about the problems there
Then why can't we do something just one thing to try and solve them? Say
