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.

Our Generation Lyrics

Marcy Playground

Are you a child of the free to be you and me generation
And are you in tune with the world around you
I am a child of the free to be you and me generation
And I am with you in being in tune
We shall bring change to this place
Listen to the whistle of the planet twirlin through space
Singin la la la la la la to the human race
(she says)
I believe I am the flower of life, the earth
And the ocean oh oh
I believe I feel the power of light, vibrate
All around me oh oh
I believe you are the children of the one great spirit, oh oh
Are you a child of the free to be you and me generation
And are you confused with the world around you
I am a child of the free to be you and me generation
And I am with you in being confused
Children children can you hear it
Listen to the riddle in the melody by great spirit
Singin la la la la la la theres nothin to it
(he says)
I believe I am the flower of life, the air
And the sunshine oh oh
I believe I am the power of light, the motive
For the universe oh oh
I believe you are the children of the one
Mother earth oh oh
