The World is a Playground

The world is a playground.
Using animal reasoning that's sound,
find the bullies as you must, 
and the people you can trust,
and you can stick around.

Thanks, Gershon, yeah, that's the way I view it sometimes, maybe not the most positive or affirming, but that's how I often see it.
