lyrics

Top of the list of things
You shouldn’t do
Is date a boy who’s
twice your age
Or is that a huge understatement
When you consider the facts in place?

He was a spritely 200
She was tender 2 and 10
(That’s 12)
I still remember the chain of events
That led them to destroy themselves

Sometimes things are
Doomed for failure
Daughter had become a stranger
Weapons poised and engines roaring
Maybe he could end her problems?

(Look out, Mom!)
Your girl has grown up

(Look out, Dad!)
Your princess has a gun

(Look out, Baby Brother!)
You might wanna close your eyes

(Look out, Town!)
You’re on TV now

(Look out, World!)
Your children aren’t so nice

(Look out, Baby Brother!)
You might wanna close your eyes

Next on the list of things
You shouldn’t do
(The voices of unknown origin...)
Is kills the ones who’ve
Sheltered you
Some may argue they bear some responsibility
But why should we linger on this?

He was a spritely 200
Yeah, she was just 12 years old
I'd never want to make light of this subject
So I'll just say what I've been told

She said she thought they were lovers
Thought this would bring them together
But it's not like they had nothing in common
THEIR FAVORITE MOVIE WAS "NATURAL-BORN KILLERS!"

(Look out, Mom!)
Your girl has grown up

(Look out, Dad!)
Your princess has a gun

(Look out, Baby Brother!)
You might wanna close your eyes

(Look out, Town!)
You’re on TV now

(Look out, World!)
Your children aren’t so nice

(Look out, Baby Brother!)
You might wanna close your eyes
