Out of the playground's ashes, come little men with little games   They're playing war, they're planning new crusades like new arcades   The reason for the season is to flood the media with suicidal mania   And paint this landscape with this human waste      So let's all sing a song of love   Let's sing, sing, sing, sing   Sing until our throats bleed      And if this child could sing he would say   I don't need anybody, I don't need anyone   I don't need your guidance home      History's a stage for re-runs   For 3 a.m. insomniacs who quote the episodes   If tricycles came with guns we'd all be safe   Little green men didn't come from outer space   With coupons in the Sunday paper they came from corporate brains      So let's all sing a song of love   Let's sing, sing, sing, sing   Sing until our throats bleed      And if this child could sing he would say   I don't need anybody, I don't need anyone   I don't need your guidance home   Watch as I build my empire, watch as I rise and fall   Watch as I fight all alone      So until we all confess and admit we stole the candy   These little men are playing games from here to eternity   But I'll be sitting by myself here waiting oh so patiently   Waiting for the sky to fall and purge frail humanity      So let's all sing a song of love   Let's sing, sing, sing, sing   And we'll pretend we're not to blame      So let's all sing a song of love   Let's sing, sing, sing, sing   Sing until our throats bleed      And if this child could sing he would say   I don't need anybody, I don't need anyone   I don't need your guidance home   Watch as I build my empire, watch as I rise and fall   Watch as I fight all alone      I don't need anybody, I don't need anyone   I don't need anybody, I don't need anyone
