"I'm running with a gun that's gonna shoot my playmates down" - people can change when entering adulthood and how we are born equal but society pushes us to become enemies.
"You see the same girl but, you wont see that face again" - society and fashion are ridiculous and pushing us to change all the time, so all the girls he sees change constantly, to the point that he doesn't recognise them any more.
"I liked you when you wore those other clothes" - He is shunning fashion: but he himself gets pulled into this commercial obsessed world "I would have payed you through the nose"
"did you punch all those clocks?" - people don't wish to change and try to freeze time.
"If you're playing on the swings you cant be in the sand pit" - you can't do everything in life because time runs out.
Pretty sure "punching clocks" refers to clocking in and out at work. Sticking to a regimented schedule set by someone else, in other words. Not literally punching any clocks.
