 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's over kid
 Because I
Because  I got a bullet in my gun
 A bullet in your what?
 Don't shoot me Santa  Claus
 I've been a clean living boy
 I promise  you
Did  every little thing you asked  me to
 I can't  believe the things I'm going  through
 Don't shoot me Santa  Claus
 Well 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 gettin' 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 there 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  Claus
 I've been a clean living boy
 I promise  you
Did  every little thing you asked  me to
 I can't  believe the things I'm going  through
 Hey, Santa  Claus
 Well 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 cheek 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  Claus
 Well no one else around believes  me
 But the children  on the block they tease  me
 I couldn't  let them off that easy
Believe  me
Santa
Santa
