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
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
