Yeah, yah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah (yeah), um On Fourth Street, the orphan children play on the jungle gym Little Timmy broke his arm again on the monkey bars Johnny's dad got a nicer car than all the other kids He becomes the alpha and picks on everybody else Max protects Claire from all the bullies Claire always wish she was as pretty as Julie The boys always chase Julie around the sandbox Claire just waits 'til she gets picked up by her grandpa All of this before the brainwash starts Before they get polluted, start thinkin' like adults Life is fantasy and somersaults then Before the world tear apart imagination Before there were rules, before there were limits Your only enemies were (want some Brussels sprouts and spinach?) Me, I used to want to be a wizard, when did life get so serious? Whatever happened to apple juice and cartwheels? (Whatever happened to apple juice and cartwheels?)
