Raised in a nursery of crumbling brick
|
Rusted iron, cracked stone and steel
|
Nurtured in a barren concrete crib
|
In a playground of grey, your fate is sealed
|
Against a back drop of drab, cold corrosion
|
We learn to dance, love, sing and play
|
Razor wire the strung umbilical cord
|
In an unsterile womb of urban decay
|
|
Let me take you down
|
As I'm going too
|
|
Play hard - like child's play
|
Playing rough - after all it's only a game
|
|
Now, redevelopment lies in ruins
|
As gutted slums are sown
|
Enveloping, smothering squalor
|
This dereliction grows
|
Outside it is now cold and dark
|
Only desolation, darkness and gloom
|
Not a far cry from a tortured cat
|
Your cities will become your tombs
|
|
Let me take you down
|
As I'm going too
|
|
Play hard - like child's play
|
Playing rough - after all it's only...
|
|
Play hard - like child's play
|
Playing rough - after all it's only a game
