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
