  • Oh, Santa
    I've been waiting on you
    That's funny kid
    Because I've been coming for you

    Oh, Santa
    I've been killing just for fun
    Well, the party is over kid
    Because I, because I got a bullet in my gun
    A bullet in your what

    (Santa's got a bullet in his gun, you know it)
    (Santa's got a bullet in his gun)

    Don't shoot me Santa Clause
    I've been a clean living boy
    I promise you, did every little thing you ask me to
    I can't believe the things I'm going through

    Don't shoot me Santa Clause
    No one else around believes me
    But the children on the block they tease me
    I couldn't let them off that easy

    Oh, Santa
    It's been a real hard year
    There just ain't no getting around this
    Life is hard but look at me I turned out alright

    Hey, Santa
    Why don't we talk about it, work it out
    Believe me, this ain't what I wanted
    I love all you kids, you know that, hell

    I remember when you were just 10 years old
    Playing out in the desert
    Just waiting for a sip of that
    Sweet Mojave rain

    In the sweet Mojave rain
    The boy was on his own

    Don't shoot me Santa Clause
    I've been a clean living boy
    I promise you, did every little thing you ask me to
    I can't believe the things I'm going through

    Hey, Santa Clause
    No one else around believes me
    But the children on the block they tease me
    I couldn't let them off that easy

    They had it coming, so, why can't you see
    I couldn't turn my check no longer
    The sun is going down and Christmas is near
    Just look the other way and I'll disappear forever

    Don't shoot me Santa Clause
    No one else around believes me
    But the children on the street they tease me
    I couldn't let them off that easy
