Water Pistol Man Lyrics - Spearhead

When girls dressed in black they all look so lonely 

And contraceptives don't get used by the horny 

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
