We Need A Place

We need a place for the kids to go!

We need a place for the kids to go
So we can take a break
Not a break if we're worried sick, so
We need a place that's super safe
A Neverland, a perfect place
Tinkerbell with a parking lot
Grow up at the perfect pace
Get lost boys, but not too lost!

We need a place for the kids to go!

And it's a training wheel city
With a code of conduct
Nerf version of the real world
A public place, private police force
Please force the riff-raff out
Take the kids into custody
No charges; just cuss 'em out
They'll cry "I'm so sorry mom
I'll never shoplift again, I promise!"

Eat! Shop! Exercise!
People watch! Perfect size!
Play! Date! MoviePass!
Safe! Bright! Middle! Class!

We need a place for the kids to try
Pseudosex, petty crime
Cigarettes, social lives
Make out, make up their minds
Find a new place where the kids are hip to
Hired guns, extra protection
We need a place where they think they're alone
No! We know
They're under surveillance!

Eat! Shop! Exercise!
People watch! Perfect size!
Play! Date! MoviePass!
Safe! Bright! Middle! Class!

And then a golden escalator took me up to a place
That looked like a combination ice skating rink and video arcade
Games from wall to wall
Not a parent in sight
Kids of all kinds, sliding from side to side
While it rained tickets and tokens
It felt like we had
Unlimited continues
Unlimited lives
Then surprise!
The ice began to melt into a whirling, swirling vortex,
Short-circuiting the games
Sucking us down the drain
And as we spun around each other
We groaned our growing pains
We've lost our place!

We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!

We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!

We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!
We need a place to go!
