Play

PLAY - Written by Carroll Bryant

We live in luxury as little baby cries

Living out our fantasies as little baby dies

What bothers me the most is the way we walk away

Street to street across the coast

Nothing but play

And we play

And we play

Life goes on I know and sometimes that's a shame

And we play

And we play

Growing old with every breath and living day to day

We watch a building crumble as the earthquake devastates 

Hugo the horrible was such a nasty wave

Texas felt the heat that blasted straight from hell

When abortion was aborted 

Washington fell

And we play

And we play

On our heels or tippy-toes and dancing so gay

And we play

And we play

Doing nothing much no more with even less for us to say

Ring around the rosey and we all fall down

Hearts grow in the gutter 

No roots in the ground

Ring around the rosey and we all fall down

What bothers me the most is the way we inflict pain

Street to street across the coast

Nothing but play

And we play

And we play

Time marches on I know and sometimes it's okay

And we play

And we play

Growing old with every breath and living day to day

And we play 

And we play

Life goes on I know and sometimes that's a shame

And we play

And we play

Right up to the very end of another busy day

And we play
