Child Of Our Times

Child Of Our Times:Barry McGuire. #72 on BB Hot 100 on DUNHILL Records in 1965. INTRO: #1. Take your first look around and see the world you’re coming into. Ah have a good cry I sympathize with you. Ah forever gone is your serenity for the fleeing fawn there’s no sacred tree they’ll try to make hypocrisy of your heredity. So choose your views most carefully the future’s hope is on what you turn out to be. CHORUS: Child of our times child of our times product of our society. What will you grow up to respect..tell me what will you grow up to protect? In your burning turning mind you are your own worst enemy. INTERLUDE: #2. Every minute you’re alive you’re that much closer to death. So try to make the most of each precious breath. Ah don’t wave banners you don’t believe parasite. You’ll have to discover your own wrong and right.. just color your perspectives black and white. They’ll label you weird but that’s all right. They’ll thank you in the end after they’ve seen the light. CHORUS: Child of our times child of our times product of our society. What will you grow up to respect..tell me what will you grow up to protect? In your burning turning mind you are your own worst enemy. INTERLUDE: #3. Ah the heroes of the past were all good guys but the leaders of the next war no one will memorize. Only the orphan child will sound the cries of a mistake that could never be rectified. I’m telling you now cause you can stop it if you try. CHORUS: Child of our times child of our times product of our society. What will you grow up to respect..tell me what will you grow up to protect? In your burning turning mind you are your own worst enemy. OUTRO: Child of our times.. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
