When girls dressed in black they all look so lonely
And contraceptives don't get used by the ^^&$#*
You can't find the key to the door in your building

But are you still willing
The responsibility becomes an afterthought
When one remembers the things that they should've bought

There's no pretending that you forgot
Must everything in life have political ramifications
Even taking kids on vacation or having a simple operation

But my friend billy told me that sometimes
It takes a grown man a long time to learn
Just what it takes a child a night to learn

And my son proved his words

Water pistol man full of ammunition

Squirtin' at fires on a worldwide mission
But did you ever think to stop to squirt
The flowers in your own backyard


For all my faux pa's i never said excuse me
Was the simplest things that always confused me

I never stopped i never looked both ways
Must it always a tug of love between friends and work
Hope to learn the meaning of the word jerk

Before it happens to a rope round my neck
Let's build a bigger telescope
So that we can see things more up close

Farther away from where we really are
I was up the whole night before
Reading books about places i'll probably never go

And those aren't good things to know about

Water pistol man full of ammunition

Squirtin' at fires on a worldwide mission
But did you ever think to stop to squirt
The flowers in your own backyard


When i feel with my heart i know in my mind
I should say with my lips

But don't does that make you feel upset?
I should know that the power of one man seems like a small squirt
When he aims at the flames of the whole earth

But the fire starts at home

Water pistol man full of ammunition

Squirtin' at fires on a worldwide mission
But did you ever think to stop to squirt
The flowers in your own backyard
