Little Monsters - Charlotte Gainsbourg

In the playground 
children sing their songs and skin their knees 
play, little monsters, play 
I remember doing just the same so many years ago 
and the things they'd say 

I could handle sticks and stones 
but those words still break my bones 

chorus 
little monsters that rule the world 
you don't know what you're really saying 
stop before someone ends up getting hurt 
can't you see that we're only playing 

I remember I was just another monster without life 
'til the day you came 
dirty creatures, tiny animals that crawl towards the light 
don't you ever change 

chorus 
little monsters that rule the world 
you don't know what you're really saying 
stop before someone ends up getting hurt 
can't you see that we're only playing 

one day you will have to go 
you'll have to learn to live alone 

chorus 
I can't hold your hand anymore 
I can't always kiss you better 
time to stand on your own two feet 
time to see just where they get you 

deep inside I'm still the same 
just one more little monster 
making out that she knows the rules 
a sincere impostor
