Sandbox

The sandbox is thirsty

Outside, the bombs are bursting

See the children play in camo green

Morning tea, cuppa casualties

Merrily, merrily, merrily, we all fall down

The smoky skies under power lines

The come-hither look in the bullseye

Pigtails, crosshairs

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

Bang

Bang

See how they run in the hot, hot sun

Billy's got a slingshot, 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)

When all the battleships capsize (Bang)

Look for the whites in their eyes

You crack a smile in the sadness

The sandbox is thirsty

Outside, the bombs are bursting
