Beachball

The weak spot on a beachball is the valve
If you don't count the smell
Or the fact that the harder you hit it
The slower it seems to go

Till the wind blows and takes it away
To the side of the bay
Where the guard at the gate
Has a gun and a phone and a radio

You say the world isn't fair
You say you don't care
You say it was cheap and you tell me
The damn thing never did hold air, hold air

As we watch it float toward
The boats over there
Where the guard at the gate
Has a gun and a phone and a radio

The weak spot on a beachball is the valve
If you don't count the smell
Or the fact that the harder you hit it
The slower it seems to go

Till the wind blows and takes it away
To the side of the bay
Where the guard at the gate
Has a gun and a phone and a radio
