Текст песни Something Going On (Tom Paxton) с переводом

My kid’s got me worried

My kid’s acting strange

He was always cheerful

Now there’s been a change

We used to talk for hours

We ain’t talkin' anymore

He’ll sit and tap his fingers

Then he’s up and out the door

My kid was a reader

He always had a book

You gave my kid a book to read

And that was all it took

And now he don’t read nothing

He don’t even watch TV

He checks his watch time after time

And he hardly looks at me

There’s something goin' on

The kids are walkin' away

If we don’t help ‘em around

We’ll have some terrible dues to pay

There’ll be something goin' on

We might not get them back

The papers say this crack

Is killing a generation

My kid, he was happy

He tore around the place

You’d always hear him laughlng

With a grin across his face

Now he ain’t much for showers

He forgets to comb his hair

He looks in your direction

But he doesn’t know you’re there

‘Cause there’s something goin' on

The kids are walkin' away

If we don’t help ‘em now

There’ll be some terrible dues to pay

There’s something goin' on

We might not get them back

The papers say this crack

Is killing a generation

My kid’s got me worried

My kid’s acting strange

He was always cheerful

Now there’s been a change

We used to talk for hours

We ain’t talkin' anymore

He’ll sit and tap his fingers

Then he’s up and out the door

But there’s something goin' on

The kids are walkin' away

If we don’t help ‘em around

There’ll be some terrible dues to pay

There’s something goin' on

We might not get them back

The papers say this crack

Is killing a generation

The papers say this crack

Is killing a generation
