The sandbox is thirsty Outside, the bombs are bursting See the children play in camo green Morning tea, couple casualties Merrily, merrily, merrily, we all fall down The smoky skies under power lines The come-hither look in the bullseye Pigtails, crosshairs Don't be scared, it'll all be over soon (Bang) and the toy soldiers set sail (Bang) even the bully knows war is hell Where is the beauty in the madness? The sandbox is thirsty Outside, the bombs are bursting Bang Bang See how they run in the hot, hot Sun Billy's got a slingshot, jenny's got a cap gun And the cannons cry, little billy sucks his thumb Don't cry, billy, jenny's just having fun (Bang) and the toy soldiers set sail (Bang) even the bully knows war is hell Where is the beauty in the madness? (Bang) When all the battleships capsize (bang) Look for the whites in their eyes You crack a smile in the sadness The sandbox is thirsty Outside, the bombs are bursting
