Lyrics
Verse:
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 backdrop 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
Pre Chorus:
Let me take you down
As I'm going too
Chorus:
Play hard - like child's play
Play rough - after all it's only a game
Verse:
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
Pre Chorus:
Let me take you down
As I'm going too
Chorus:
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
