PLAYGROUND POLITICS

I guess that wonders will never cease
You been hanging 'round with the thought police
You wear the badge but never take the oath
Covert ops and sideways glancing
Are the politics of dancing
If it's nature or nurture, I'd opt for both

Tell tall tales, backstab and bitch
Two-faced yellow-bellied snitch
Spineless words and dirty tricks
Fuck your playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics

The new kids have only been in school one week
They're already pulling rank in the schoolyard clique
They beat them to submission until they bowed
I saw them give the order as they jeered and kicked him
He was told to get in line as a fashion victim
A folly to the whims of the class in-crowd

Tell tall tales, backstab and bitch
Two-faced yellow-bellied snitch
Spineless words and dirty tricks
Fuck your playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics

I assure you it was never my intention
The price of disagreement is a weeks detention
A note to mum and a thousand lines
My pride is scuffed and my faith is torn
And there's trust all down my uniform
I've lost my faith in nursery rhymes

Tell tall tales, backstab and bitch
Two-faced yellow-bellied snitch
Spineless words and dirty tricks
Fuck your playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics
Playground politics, playground politics
