The sandbox is thirsty
Outside, the bombs are bursting
See the children play in camo green
Morning tea, couple 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
