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, and the power lines
The come hither look in the bullseye
Pigtails, crosses
Don't be scared, it'll all be over soon

(Bang)
And the toy soldiers set sail
Even the bully knows what is hell
Where is a beauty in the madness

The Sandbox is thirsty
Outside, the bombs are bursting (Hey)
(Hey)

(Hey) 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 Billie sucks his thumb
Don't cry, Billy, Jenny's just having fun

And the toy soldiers set sail
Even the bully knows what is hell
Where is a beauty in the madness

When all 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
