something's wrong at the playground

well grade school never meant that much to me

i started smoking at the age of 13

back of the class that's where we'd hang around

but they could not bring us down

and now they're on the run

little johnny's mad and he's got a gun

just kids having fun

you can't deny

no alibi

i saw you back when you were just like them

i know it's true

and we all fall down together

ashes to ashes as we burn this fucker down

on the merry go round the kids are learning

yeah

there's something wrong at the playground

well high school was just a holding cell for me

with no freedom as we learn democracy

spent most of my days in the back lot

a cherry burning bright but a future that's not

and now were on the run

try not to think a lot and just keep on having fun

no responsibility

you can't deny

no alibi

you were just like them

i saw you back then

i know it's true

and we all fall down together

ashes to ashes as we burn this fucker down

on the merry go round the kids are learning

yeah there's something wrong at the playground
