Playground Lyrics

[Intro]
They all know my name now
It's just another lonely day on the playground

Okay, let's go, 1, 2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]
No I'm not vintage, no I don't care
No I'm not Kylie, no, you can't compare me to another one
There's no one else, I'm nobody, I'm just myself
It's not Fight Club, I'm a rare snowflake

But if I hear you bringing me down, calling me so fake
I will fight you (yes), I will fight you (yes)
Because in the end, there's only truth and God is gonna smite you
Besides that, I don't like you


[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna party boy, I don't wanna fight
But everybody knows that that's the way it is
Only players can survive

[Chorus]
They all know my name now
It's just another lonely day on the playground
(Only players can survive)
Rain, rain go away, now
Come again another day in the game now
(Only players can survive)
[Verse 2]
No I'm not retro, no I'm not fair
And yes, I like to re-record and dance in underwear
And its not Scarface cause I'mma live forever
And if I hear from anyone you're trying to get too clever
Then I will fight you, I will win, I will rise again, soar in the wind
It's my destiny, the way my life begins
So if you're in my way, I'll knock you down like kingpin


[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna party boy, I don't wanna fight
But everybody knows that that's the way it is
Only players can survive

[Chorus]
They all know my name now
It's just another lonely day on the playground
(Only players can survive)
Rain, rain go away, now
Come again another day in the game now
(Only players can survive)

[Bridge]
Ring around the rosie, oh
I don't wanna fall down
Keep my feet on the ground

Pocket full of nursery rhymes
I'm just biding my time
Biding my lines
[Verse 3]
I'm wearing the invisible crown
You can't see it yet

Touring up and tearing the town, a soul sinner, yes
Sometimes I rap too
I'm a white girl, but the world is my oyster
I'm a little pearl, yep

[Chorus]
They all know my name now
It's just another lonely day on the playground
(Only players can survive)
Rain, rain go away, now
Come again another day in the game now
(Only players can survive)

[Outro]
Ring around the rosie, oh
I don't wanna fall down
Keep my feet on the ground
Pocket full of nursery rhymes
I'm just biding my time
Biding my lines

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Maybe when Lana Del Rey was in elementary school, she was very lonely. When someone knows you, they think they know everything about you and they don’t try to get to know you better (personal experience). I’m sure Lana feels the same way “they all know my name now, just another lonely day on the playground”. Lana just wants to have fun but maybe in her school it is cool to fight with someone else. Only the brave kids can be cool and have fun “only players can survive”. Since this is another unreleased single from Lana Del Rey AKA Lizzie Grant album, not much is known.
