Play

(From Play)

What's the use in praying
When you don't know what you need?
You don't see birds flying
When they don't have any wings

I've waited too long to give up
'Cause I know what I believe
If anyone disagrees, screw 'em
By now, they ought to see

I want to play
With my time and my toys
And all the other girls and boys
I want to play

What's the use in speaking
When you know you won't be heard?
Everybody's thinking
They've already got the word

I'll sit on the edge of the earth
For as long as I can breathe
I'll plan for tomorrow tomorrow
Today is all I see

I want to play,
But I don't want to get hurt anymore
I want to play

What's the use in giving
When there's no one to receive?
What's the use in trying
When you know you won't succeed?

I want to play
With my time and my toys
And all the other girls and boys
I want to play
