Текст песни: Playground Politics + перевод

You were only a child when this war broke out

Now you’re on the front line day to day

You’ve seen the rise and fall, and taken a bow

You rendered fear, you know her now

But what of the long forgotten peaceful stakes?

What of the wives who’ve lost their homes?

How can you justify an eye for an eye?

Did you feel like the best or was it false advertising?

I’ve given up I’m down I’ve got my records out

The struggle seems so very far away

But what do I know of the bitter sweet?

A life of pointless hostility

It’s glorified playground politics

As you march with a new crowd now

With your head held high

You protesting against the state

But the guilt that you feel won’t go away

And how do you feel watching kids go to war?

'Cause you convince them to shy away

For trading in violence what’s the price on his life?

Is it worth your conscience, do you think it’s right?

I’ve given up I’m down I’ve got my records out

The struggle seems so very far away

But what do I know of the bitter sweet?

A life of pointless hostility

I’ve given up I’m down I’ve got my records out

The struggle seems so very far away

But what do I know of the bitter sweet?

A life of pointless hostility

It’s glorified playground politics

Hey! Hey!

We never let them find a peaceful solution

Hey! Hey!

Everybody’s just talk talk talk

Hey! Hey!

It’s all words with no real revolution

It’s just playground politics

I’ve given up I’m down I’ve got my records out

The struggle seems so far

But what do I know, of pointless hostility?

I’ve given up I’m down I’ve got my records out

The struggle seems so very far away

But what do I know of the bitter sweet?

A life of pointless hostility

It’s glorified, it’s glorified playground politics
