we got no time
for your silly rules
we got no time
for playing the part of fools
do you feel alive
at your 9-5
do you feel alive
with your white fence
all that jive
so while they're at work
we have time to play
i like playin in the sandbox

we took a drive
down the jersey coast
stopped at a diner
for sausage eggs and toast
i maybe poor
but i don't need more
cause i found salvation at the shore
so while they're at work
we have time to play
i like playing in the sandbox

all the arcades smelled like sugar
and the ferris wheel never stopped
the sandwiches were sandy
and a pretty girl named Candy
almost made your eyeballs pop
(close your eyes)
the mothers sat under umbrellas
and the dreams flew about like kites
but the kites flew away
and drowned in the bay
as the lighthouse spied on the night
(close your eyes)
now the shore has turned to tar
and the ice cream man never rings
the fireworks crashed to the earth as ash
and the seagulls never sing
(close your eyes)
the gamblers sleep in their cars
cause luck's not a friend of theirs
as the sun starts to rise they close their eyes
and dream that somebody cares
(close your eyes)

BRING YOUR PAIL

we got no time
for your silly rules
we got time for cigarettes and booze
i may be poor
but i know the score
tramps like us, babe
we were born to lose
so while their at work
we have time to play
i like playing in the sandbox
