afraid of babies

always been afraid of babies
that's my truth to tell
always thought that babies
were a one-way ticket to hell
then one day I got a wife
and we had a child
decided right then and there
nothing more meek or mild
than a baby
than a baby

I've always been afraid of killing things
I have been all my life
never one to take anybody's life
by my own hands
then one day a man came
to kill my family
cut him down in my backyard
with an extension of my hand
called a gun gun gun
gun gun gun

I have a family and they're safe now
