To the plastic park from noon to four
Parents send their children
To play grown-up games like war
Plastic hand grenades
Atomic submarines
Sherman tanks that drive around
And lemonade is never seen
To the plastic park children never go after dark
For every child knows to the plastic park
With darkness comes
Last year's children and their metal guns
And what have we done with
The chalk marks popcorn stands
Barbie dolls and hold my hand
Where have they gone?
Where have they gone?
To the plastic park from nine to five
Parents send themselves
To play childrens games
Like build a bigger castle in the sand
Just to see it torn down by another man
And what have we done with
The chalk marks popcorn stands
Barbie dolls and hold my hand
Where have they gone?
Where have they gone?
