Then the Kids Took Over

John Linnell, John Flansburgh

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And then the kids took over
That's when the future began
And when 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

[Verse 2]
Neglected
Deflected
Can't undo what is already done
Aware now
With know-how
With power from the wind and the sun

[Chorus]
And then the kids took over
That's when the future began
And when 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

[Bridge: 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 can do: recycling, self-reliance, energy conservation, no matter how small
I even planted a tree
Now it's twelve feet tall

[Chorus]
And then the kids took over
That's when the future began
And when 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
