Lyrics John Fisher Ford - Marcy Playground

And now, something completely different

John Fisher Ford died
Held a flame over his base pipe
Tried to smoke some crack
And it killed him

Susan Anna Randall
Held a spoon over her candle
Tried injecting heroin
And it killed her

And the children got down, down, down, down
And the animals got down, down, down, down
As the world got high
And died

William Skipley Scott tried
His hand at chemistry
Made some LSD
And it killed him

And the children got down, down, down, down
And the animals got down, down, down, down
As the world got high
And died

What's the chance of becoming down?
I gauge the odds at a billion to one

Tommy in his tie-dye
Thinking he could fly
Tried some PCP
I think it killed him

And the children got down, down, down, down
And the animals got down, down, down, down
As the world got high
And died

As the world
It got high
And died
