The Camera and the Gun

Camera and the gun, the camera and the gun

The hammer and the nail, and the mother and the son 

The man and the woman 

And the moon and the rising sun 

The camera was slick and the gun was smooth

The camera said quick, now nobody move

Gun said freeze I’ll shoot you dead

Camera said cheese

The camera was quiet and gun was loud     

Camera was humble, the gun was proud

Camera took focus and gun takes aim 

Red eyes bullseye guns ablaze

The camera went click and the gun went bang 

Shots rang out and some prayers were made 

Camera said boy you know someday I’m gonna catch you crying 

But the camera was kind and gun was cruel   

The camera took chase, the gun kept cool

Camera said someday I’m gonna make a splash

Gun said right, you forgot the flash

Camera and the gun, the camera and the gun

The hammer and the nail, and the mother and the son 

The man and the woman 

And the moon and the rising sun 

The camera held steady and gun went off

The trigger went happy the light got soft 

Camera said wait and gun said why 

Camera said boy, open your eyes
