Intro solo (Dan)

It's cool at night where the lizard sleeps

In the shade of the boabab tree

The sky is blue where the falcons fly

It's a place where the air is free

But what about where the homeless sleep

And does it mean anything to you

It's a funny afternoon and the dry seems fine

But you don't know what to do

Chorus.

Is this Johnny's playground or is there some war on?

Is this Johnny's playground or is this some moron?

Is this Johnny's playground or is there some war on?

The man on the T.V. cried tonight while reading us the news

Dad jumped right up and turned him off

Said "He's giving me the blues."

Sister Janie told us all about what happened at school

She said: "One kid blew another kid away,

'Cos he thought that it was cool."

There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide

You're part of this world but you're not alone

Now open your eyes and look to the light

You can't face this fairground on your own

Chorus x2

Solo (Dan)

Bridge

Major Sam was a happy old man and a happy old man was he

He marched his men across enemy lines from behind computer keys

Now as far as I know he has to take it it slow

From a place he now calls "Home"

He wages war from a padded cell and he lives life on his own
