I climb up, spending daylight |
|
slide down drunken on the other side |
|
Some sweet girl, playing my wife, |
|
runs off with a boy whose bike she'll ride |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies in the |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world |
|
Bells will ring, door flings open |
|
Hare and greyhound in the old kiss chase |
|
You've been caught, game has ended |
|
Smack on kisser from her slap on face |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
We're marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies in the |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world |
|
Watch the leaves all tear away (one by one) |
|
Leaving you but lined like an exercise book |
|
What did your report once say (know the one) |
|
This boy must try harder to please |
|
From down on his knees |
|
Playground, playground, careful what you say ground |
|
Playground, playground, gonna make you pay-ground |
|
Brain gets bent, heart gets broken |
|
You can't jump off once the page is turned |
|
School is out but never over |
|
That's the only lesson you can learn |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
We're marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies in the |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
Go for the high jump if you let 'em push you in the |
|
Playground (it's a playground) |
|
There's no escaping, escaping from their big square world |
|
You may leave school, but it never leaves you |
