The All-American Rejects - Sandbox

 

The All-American Rejects - Sandbox

See the children play, in camo green
Morning tea, cuppa casualties 
Merrily merrily merrily we all fall down
Smoky skies, under power lines
The come hither look in the bullseyes 
Pig tails, cross hairs 
Don’t be scared it’ll all be over soon
Bang!
And the toy soldiers set sail
Bang!
Even the bully knows war is hell
Where is the beauty in the madness 
The sandbox, is thirsty
Outside the bombs are bursting 
See how they run in the gold hot sun
Billy’s got a sling shot, Jenny’s got a cap gun
And the cannons cry,
Little Billy sucks his thumb
Don’t cry Billy, Jenny’s just having fun!
Bang!
And the toy soldiers set sail
Bang!
Even the bully knows war is hell
Where is the beauty in the madness 
Bang!
And when the battleships capsize 
Look for the whites in their eyes
You crack a smile in the sadness
The sandbox, is thirsty
Outside the bombs are bursting
