Playground

I climb up, spending daylight
Slide down bankrupt 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, every day ground
Never stop rehearsing
Rehearsing for the big square world
Bells will ring, door flies open
Hare and Greyhound
in the old kiss chase
You've been caught, game is ended
Smack on kisser from her slap on face
Playground, it's a playground
Marked by the masters
And bruised by the bullies in the
Playground, every day ground
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 pages turn
School is out but never over
That's the only lesson you can learn
Playground, it's a playground
Marked by the masters
And bruised by the bullies in the
Playground, every day ground
Never stop rehearsing
Rehearsing for the big square...
Playground, it's a playground
You're for the high jump
If you let 'em push you in the
Playground, every day ground
There's no escaping,
Escaping from their big square world
You may leave school but it never leaves you
