Spearhead - Water Pistol Man lyrics

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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...

(Chorus
