Rourke - G.I. Joe Lyrics

You don't have to go to school today, Omar, spread your wings, you can fly away
Don't worry about those books today, it's time to turn the page, ooh the playground's calling
The sun is fading, shadows cascading, toy soldiers are waiting
You don't have to wash your hands today, Omer, heaven's colored in finger paints

It'd be nice to just play all day, turn those pages into paper planes, ooh the playground's calling
The sun is fading, shadows cascading, toy soldiers are waiting
G.I. Joe wants to play, all the kids have gone away
G.I. Joe wants to play, all the kids have gone away

When you were three, did you dream of the things that you'd be
Like a spaceman or a star on the stage and the screen
When you were four, did you think you'd be caught in a war
Monsters and bombs, little boys never more

You won't hear my song today, Merrie Melodies have gone away
No candles, no cakes, no more birthdays or holidays
No toys, no games, no more choo-choo trains
No Hook, no Pan, no more Never Never Land

Ooh the playground's calling
The sun is fading, shadows cascading, toy soldiers are waiting
G.I. Joe wants to play, all the kids have gone away
G.I. Joe wants to play, all the kids have gone away

G.I. Joe wants to play
G.I. Joe wants to play, all the kids have gone away
Oh, please won't you let those children live
Oh, please won't you let those children live

Oh, please won't you let those children live
Oh, please won't you let those children live
