Little Toy Guns
In between the coats in the closetShe held on to that heart shaped locketStaring at a family flawlessBut it ain't a pretty picture tonightMom and daddy just won't stop itFightin' at the drop of the faucetCuts through the walls catastrophicShe's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her earsStarts talking through the tearsShe's saying, she's praying.
I wish words were like little toy gunsNo sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bangRolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)Yeah, no smoke, no bulletsNo kick from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done(I wish words were like little toy guns)And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Wish there was a white flag wavingOr that they were both just fakingAnd it was just a game they were playingLike shoot'em up cowboysLeave the plastic pistols in the front yardThrow away the score cardAnd just turn off all the noise.
I wish words were like little toy gunsNo sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bangRolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)Yeah, no smoke, no bulletsNo kick from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done(I wish words were like little toy guns)And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Oh I wish they didn't cut like a knifeI wish they didn't break you insideI wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna run, yeah
Like little toy gunsNo sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bangRolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)Yeah, no smoke, no bulletsNo shot from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done(I wish words were like little toy guns)And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Oh like little toy guns
