Papers on the floor
Crayons circled ’round her
My daughter shapes
An intricate design
And she orders me to sit
Handling me the blue one
She says “Help me Daddy
Help me draw the line!”

Draw the line, draw the line
We have to help each other draw the line
Draw the line, draw the line
We have to help each other draw the line

The news is on T.V.
She’s asleep upon my lap
Tears jump down my cheeks
Like counting sheep, like counting crimes
And the worst crime of them all
Will be tomorrow morning
We’ll get up and go to work
Just like everything is fine

We’ll ignore atomic waste, maybe it will go away
And the chemicals we eat don’t taste so bad
Our bombs will keep us safe, and our air smells really great
And the old folks in those homes have no reason to be sad
Draw the line, draw the line
We have to help each other draw the line
Draw the line, draw the line
We have to help each other draw the line
My girl could save the whales
If there’s any left to save
She’d wonder why the jails
Are overflowing with the poor
She’d see ninety-nine percent
Of our Senators are men
And that ego, greed, and money
Are the causes of our wars

The moon shines like her face, I can’t look her in the eye
The owl screams “Whoo - leaves this legacy behind!?”
Somehow we’ve got to stop, and start a better world
Oh, help me child, please, help me draw the line
Draw the line, draw the line
We have to help each other draw the line
Draw the line, draw the line
We have to help each other draw the line
And the worst crime of them all
Will be tomorrow morning
We’ll get up and go to work
Just like everything is fine
