In the playground
children sing their songs and skin their knees
play, little monsters, play
i remember doing just the same so many years ago
and the things they´d say

i could handle sticks and stones
but those words still break my bones

chorus
little monsters that rule the world
you don´t know what you´re really saying
stop before someone ends up getting hurt
can´t you see that we´re only playing

i remember i was just another monster without life
´til the day you came
dirty creatures, tiny animals that crawl towards the light
don´t you ever change

chorus
little monsters that rule the world
you don´t know what you´re really saying
stop before someone ends up getting hurt
can´t you see that we´re only playing

one day you will have to go
you´ll have to learn to live alone

chorus
i can´t hold your hand anymore
i can´t always kiss you better
time to stand on your own two feet
time to see just where they get you

deep inside i´m still the same
just one more little monster
making out that she knows the rules
a sincere impostor
