First They Made Me Sleep in the Closet / I’m Scratchin’ Peace Symbols in Your Tombstone lyrics

Part I: First They Made Me Sleep in the Closet

[Intro / False Start]
First they made me sleep in the closet (Hahaha!)

[Verse]
First they made me sleep in the closet (Aww!)
Then they made him sleep out in the hall (Oh...)
When I got a little bit older
They made me sleep against the wall (Aww!)
Then I was so young and tender (Ooh!)
But now I’m oh, so big and hard (Uh oh)
Now that I’m a little bit older
I's got to sleeps in the backyard

[Refrain]
When he was just about three
All the girls used to fight to see
Who could hold him on their knee
But now it's plain to see
Now that he’s big and hard
He’s got to stay in the backyard
He had a job and got fired
And oh, the ground's so hard
And I’m so sure some day
Some pretty girl will come his way
And then his mama will say
“Boy, with girls, you don’t play!”
And it’s so plain to see
What his mama wants him to be
Locked up and not to be free
To play with you or me
