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
