In the April 21st 2020 edition of his “Live from Quarantine” YouTube series, Sean stated that this song is about his time growing up in Rochester, Minnesota. At that time he and a friend had guns pulled on them by local kids. He also states that the song is intended to be anti-gun.
[Chorus]
Getting naked, and playing with guns
There's a gerbil in the microwave, a baseball bat in everyone
Sharing kisses and building a bomb
We'll set it off like Microsoft in '94
We'll set it off like Microsoft in '94
McDonalds PlayPlace before the Xbox
Cake frosting, sweet talking, bedroom wall
Covered in knives, touching God, burning shit
We'll make a wish and take a trip to Future Town like our daddy did
And we'll kill the neighbor kid, who only wants to be our friend
His dad is dead enough that, his new dad can cure the bends
We'll make a wish and take a trip to Future Town
Feeling weird, yet tasting sweet
It's a top bottom rock smoking magic mask, making it bleed
Feeling sweet, getting weird
Now I can see the playground through the trees
And I can see the playground from the trees
And we'll show the neighbor kid, what our love actually means
He's here from out of town and I heard he's got A.D.D
We'll climb the tallest branch with a rifle full of dreams
And we'll blow the little dickhead up to smithereens
[Chorus]
Getting naked, and playing with guns
There's a gerbil in the microwave, the baseball bat, and everyone
Sharing kisses and building a bomb
We'll set it off like Microsoft in '94
We'll set it off like Microsoft in '94
We'll set it off like Microsoft in '94 in our backyard
