BACK IN THE PLAYGROUND

     Dreamed I was in a school playground I was about four feet high,
     yes dreamed I was back in the playground and standing about four feet high.
     The playground was three miles long and the playground was five miles wide.

     There was a broken black tarmac with a high fench all around,
     a broken black dusty tarmac with a high fench running all around
     and they had a special name to it, they called it 'The Killing Ground'.

     Got  a mother and a father they are a thousand miles away,
     the rulers of the killing ground are coming out to play,
     every one thinking who are they going to play with today?

     You get it for being Jewish, you get it for being black
     You get it for being chicken, you get it for fighting back
     You get it for being big and fat, and get it for being small
     but those who get it, get it and get it, get it for any damned thing at all.
