Something’s Wrong at the Playground

[Verse 1]
Well, grade school never meant that much to me
I started smoking at the age of thirteen
Back of the class, that's where we'd hang around
But they could not bring us down

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 then, you were just like them, I know it's true

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, high school was just a holding cell for me
With no freedom as we learned democracy
Spent most of my days in the backlot
A cherry burning but a future that's not

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And now we're 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

[Chorus]
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
