Named for the formative location in lead singer John Wozniak's childhood, the Marcy Open grade school in Minneapolis, Marcy Playground emerged in the late 1990s with clean and subdued alternative rock. Wozniak's first effort, "Zog BogBean - From the Marcy Playground", was a self-produced labor of love, recorded in his bedroom studio with some help from his then-girlfriend Sherry Fraser in the early nineties. A small run of CD's was self-released by Wozniak, and to this day it remains extremely difficult to find, and highly sought after. Most copies that surface for sale go for over $100. After attending the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington for two years, Wozniak moved east to New York, where Marcy Playground began to coalesce around the songs that would become the self-titled album.

America Lyrics

Marcy Playground

Lucy came to the timberline
Climbed up on to rainier and
Looked out over washington
Swore she could see the apple trees
And she said ooo ooo oh I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here
Peter came to the city and
Climbed up into liberty and
Looked out over manhattan
He swore he could see the beauty there
And he said ooo ooo oh I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here
Find a place
To call home
Any place
To call home
Right here
And so I came in the dead of night
Climbed up into the satellite and
Looked out over america
I swear I could see the buffalo
Ooo ooo oh and I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here, right here
