Boasting at the Playground Lyrics

​​When we were kids

Boasting at the playground

We were still being

Told what we could or couldn't do

I think it's funny how it

Follows you

Into adulthood

Now when someone tells you to shut up

You just do

Whatever they say

Don't get in their way

Just go back

Regress

Don't you remember

Crying in bed

'Til 6 AM

When you failed your French test

The answer was no but you said yes

And now you regret it

Mhm, mhm

Don't take candy from strangers

They're dangerous

Just refuse and they'll leave you alone

But you must

Take candy from those you trust

They're gonna shove it

Down your throat

If you say no

Might as well

Prepare to swallow

So you don't choke

Whatever they say

Don't get their way

Just go back

Regress

Don't you remember

The rest of the night

When you didn't finish your ice cream

What a shame

They spent so much money on it

Money on it

Ooh, ooh (hey, hey)

Squeaky swings

Slippery slide

Everything reminds you

Spinning wheel

Round and round

Afraid your past will find you

See-sawing with them

Up and down

Even after you swore

That you wouldn't do, less you wanted to

Now the swing set scares you

Ooh, ooh

A good girl

Listens and follows the rules

You better suck your lollipop

You can't waste your food

Or leave even one single crumb

You love it, don't you? So give it all your love

Your little tongue was

Burnt by the brownie

But they expect you to eat it and learn

To do as you're told

Like you did

As a kid

But you're older now

And it never leaves

Stop punishing me

She's gonna find out

She's gonna know

She won't make a sound

If you're lucky

She'll only be boasting at the

Playground

Mhm, mhm

Mhm, mhm

Mhm, mhm

Mhm

Ooh

Ooh

Just go back

Regress

Don't you remember

Crying in bed

'Til 6 AM

When you

Failed your French test

The answer was no

The answer was no

The answer was no but you said yes

She's gonna find out

She's gonna know

She won't make a sound
