Playground Politics Songtext
von River Jumpers

You were only a child when this war broke out
Now you′re on the front line day to day
You've seen the rise and fall, and taken a bow
You rendered fear, you know her now
But what of the long forgotten peaceful stakes?
What of the wives who′ve lost their homes?
How can you justify an eye for an eye?
Did you feel like the best or was it false advertising?
I've given up I'm down I′ve got my records out
The struggle seems so very far away
But what do I know of the bitter sweet?
A life of pointless hostility
It′s glorified playground politics
As you march with a new crowd now
With your head held high
You protesting against the state
But the guilt that you feel won't go away
And how do you feel watching kids go to war?
′Cause you convince them to shy away
For trading in violence what's the price on his life?


Is it worth your conscience, do you think it′s right?
I've given up I′m down I've got my records out
The struggle seems so very far away
But what do I know of the bitter sweet?
A life of pointless hostility
I've given up I′m down I′ve got my records out
The struggle seems so very far away
But what do I know of the bitter sweet?
A life of pointless hostility
It's glorified playground politics
Hey! Hey!
We never let them find a peaceful solution
Hey! Hey!
Everybody′s just talk talk talk
Hey! Hey!
It's all words with no real revolution
It′s just playground politics
I've given up I′m down I've got my records out
The struggle seems so far
But what do I know, of pointless hostility?
I've given up I′m down I′ve got my records out
The struggle seems so very far away
But what do I know of the bitter sweet?
A life of pointless hostility
It's glorified, it′s glorified playground politics
