Little Monsters lyrics - 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
