Open Shoebox

Let’s play “cops-and-robbers”
“Good guys-and-bad guys”
Let’s play “hide-and-seek”
I’ll hide in your daddy’s closet
Or we can snoop around
I see an open shoebox
There’s your daddy’s gun
Freeze! This is a stick-up!

It’s not pretend anymore
I see blood on your shirt
It’s only a game
‘Til somebody gets hurt

Stop your kiddin’ around now
Can your mom take me home?
You’re scarin’ me a little
‘Cause your face is stone cold

It’s not pretend anymore
There's blood on your shirt
It’s only a game
‘Til somebody gets hurt

Wait ‘til my mom finds out
I’ll be grounded for sure
I’m in trouble now
‘Cause somebody got hurt

We were having fun
Just messin’ around
With your daddy’s gun
Then there was a loud sound

It’s not pretend anymore
I see blood on your shirt
It’s only a game
‘Til somebody gets hurt

It’s not pretend anymore
I see blood on your shirt
It's only a game
Then somebody got hurt
Somebody got hurt
Somebody got hurt
