Child's Play Lyrics - Swansong - Carcass

(Music: Steer) 

(Lyrics: Walker) 

Raised in a nursery of crumbling brick 

Rusted iron, cracked stone and steel 

Nurtured in a barren concrete crib 

In a playground of grey, your fate is sealed 

Against a back drop of drab, cold corrosion 

We learn to dance, love, sing and play 

Razor wire the strung umbilical cord 

In an unsterile womb of urban decay 

Let me take you down 

As I'm going too 

Play hard - like child's play 

Playing rough - after all it's only a game 

(lead) 

Now, redevelopment lies in ruins 

As gutted slums are sown 

Enveloping, smothering squalor 

This dereliction grows 

Outside it is now cold and dark 

Only desolation, darkness and gloom 

Not a far cry from a tortured cat 

Your cities will become your tombs 

Let me take you down 

As I'm going too 

Play hard - like child's play 

Playing rough - after all it's only... 

Play hard - like child's play 

Playing rough - after all it's only a game
