Frederick Roussel Playground Song
Playground Song © 2009 Frederick Roussel
Told me I could paint and
You told me I could draw
Doesn't look like there's gonna be any
Need for me any more
See you makin statements about
Poverty it seems
You used my picture you never
Told me what it means
I'm gonna build a playground baby
And give these kids some hope
Put you on minimum wage now baby
I know you can cope
I'm gonna build a playground through your cleverness
And give these kids some hope
Put you on minimum wage now baby
I know you can cope
Thank-you for the playground baby
Modern art ain't here
All these kids are happy ain't got no
Statements in their ears
Look at all this criticism
Now the art has gone
If you disagree with me then your
Statements were all wrong!
I'm gonna build a playground baby
And give these kids some hope
Put you on minimum wage now baby
I know you can cope
I'm gonna build a playground through your cleverness
And give these kids some hope
Put you on minimum wage now baby
I know you can cope
Can't see nothin there but a
Blank space
Spendin all this money on it
But it's a waste
Call yourself an artist baby
You don't even paint
I'm gonna throw you a-
way
