Testo The Next Generation - Neneh Cherry
Testo della canzone The Next Generation (Neneh Cherry), tratta dall'album Raw Like Sushi
Autumn breeze, a spring tease
Summer days and winter nights
The seasons change and that's a fact
Is it not?
Domo arigato, tak, danke, merci
Thank you
Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons
Here's hoping you'll know the right time when it comes
Like I did 'cause I knew, though nobody told
Me a damn thing about how life unfolds
Right there before you, you can't even blink
If you do, you'll miss it, so take time to think
About your position, your place in this world
About what you're here for, so check it out, girl
Boys to the right and you, you're in this too
Come on, be real, now, can we count on you
To be strong and to love us right through thin and thick
With your heart and your soul, not aside from your dick
Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh
So check this out
Hey, what's this sitting in my lap?
Why, it's the next generation
And do you know what comes from the best love
In the world you could possibly ever have?
Yes, it's the next generation
The children are the chosen ones
Society's got its priorities wrong
The schools are closing down
Don't be messing with our future
Black babies, white babies
Quarter Puerto Ricans, two-sixth Chinese
Any combination you could possibly imagine
They're just as important as the ground that we walk on
People are people, you know what I mean?
Even the baby with the portable phone
Attached to his buggy and pushed by a clone
And the black market baby, that unwanted baby
For fifty thousand dollars, it belonged to the rich lady
Didn't like his face
She said it didn't matter 'cause her husband was a surgeon
Ha ha ha ha, uh, sick
Ain't that, ain't that, ain't that, ain't that sick?
Shucks, it breaks my heart
Operate on a baby, uh, sick
Hey, what's that sitting in my lap?
Why, it's the next generation
And do you know what comes from the best love
In the world you could possibly ever have?
Yes, it's the next generation
And is it true that even though they keep you awake at night sometimes
And mess on your clothes
And you worry about whether it's really
Worth the sacrifices that we all have to make
No matter how rich or poor?
Why, yes, they're the next generation, honey
Push, push, push in the bush
Down on your knees with the birds and the bees
Your basic needs is what you're fulfilling
This court down its way must be making a killing
'Cause then in a month, she finds herself illing
You planted a seed that won't grow a tree
'Cause the lump that's showing is a baby growing
Inside holds a life that's well worth knowing, knowing
That's nasty, ain't it?
If you're gonna do it, think before you do it
Then do it right, right?
Hey, what's this sitting in my lap?
Why, it's the next generation (Oh yeah?)
And do you know what comes from the best love
In the world you could possibly ever have?
Yes, it's the next generation
And is it true that even though they keep you awake at night sometimes
And mess on your clothes
And you worry about whether it's really
Worth the sacrifices that we all have to make
No matter how rich or poor?
Why, yes, they're the next generation, honey
You know
You know, you see some people, you look at them, right?
Old people, guys on the corner holding on
Girls, right, walking along arm in arm
Spitting on the pavement and whatever
And you wonder, right, if they have forgotten
Or if they just can't remember that they ever was small one time
'Cause God knows we got to save the babies, right?
'Cause if we don't save the babies, we
Ain't gonna have a world to live in, right?
And God knows we love this world, right?
Ain't that right? So right
Right, right, right
