Midnight Oil - No Time for Games lyrics

The raising of children, the rearing of young

Used to be simple but look what it's become

The choice of career, the proper vocation

Out of your hands, all for the needs of the nation

No inhibitions with the modern child

Wasted lessons or pleasure or pain

Easy to follow your natural instinct

Easy to follow, much too hard to learn

Useless expressions and sporting aggression

Don't waste my time, I can't wait for the end of the session

What opportunity, the modern child?

Waste passion and wasted mind

Some kids got no time for playtime

Some kids got no time for games

Some kids got no time for playtime

Some kids got no time for games
