Out of the Playground

I wanna ride a pony
I wanna dress up like a China doll
I wanna make some money
I wanna smoke up at the local mall
Too young, too late, too fast, two-faced

I wanna break out of my skin, not clear it
I wanna pick pockets and a new name
I wanna fly a rocket
I wanna go and same I came

So far I've been dragging my heels
So far I've been scratching the surface
So far I'm been spitting in my face
How could you do that

I wanna break out, out of the playground
I wanna set up and shoot, set up and shoot
Letting my hair down
I'll climb the flagpole and pay a rough toll
I'll take a pee and a poo, a D20 too
And I will roll roll

I wanna treat you badly
I wanna wake up at a rodeo
I wanna be cruel and caddy
I wanna be unrecognizable
Too spare, too great, too bad, whoa mate

I wanna dig for secrets
I wanna be stupid and astute
I wanna march for justice
Wanna find my own horn and give it a toot

So far I've been dragging my heels
So far I've been scratching the surface
So far I'm been spitting in my face
How could you do that

I wanna break out, out of the playground
I wanna set up and shoot, set up and shoot
Letting my hair down
I'll climb the flagpole and pay a rough toll
I'll take a pee and a poo, a D20 too
And I will roll roll
I want to talk pure nonsense

The last time I felt like this was after standing in line for 14 hours
I didn't get chosen for Canadian Idol
No one knew I tried out
No one will know this either
It's been a long year and it had been a long day
And all I kept thinking was I can't do this anymore
The next few days I can get through
It's the ones after that that are unsure
I'm standing like Anne on the rooftop and my feet have no traction at all
Next time it'll stop, next time it'll be different
No it fucking won't
Not if all I do is stay here waiting to see whether I fall or teeter
Not the kind of balance I was hoping for
So I'll make the decision to jump, not fall
And sometime I will
Sometime

I wanna break out, out of the playground
I wanna get up and go, get up and go
Letting my hair down
I'll climb the flagpole and pay a rough toll
I'll take a pee and a poo, a D20 too
And I will roll roll
