Welcome to The Playground
Welcome to the playground
Come try to make some friends
Enjoy the sunshine while it's here
Soak it up before it ends
Welcome to the schools
The place to drown your soul
Go ahead, trade it away
Then you'll never be alone
Welome to the back streets
Where the walls are thick with secrets
And the air is heavy with lies
The most and least important thing is stayin' alive
Welcome to the inner city
The land of making your own
Name, own money, own goals
All while tryin' not to lose your soul
Welcome to the suburbs
The place to feel at home
In the middle of all the sameness
How can you feel alone?
Welcome to the havens
Where the long-weary travelers reside
Don't be afraid to join them
There's nowhere else to hide
Welcome to nowhere
Darkness puddles on the ground
Though your family will miss you
It's where the only peace is found
