My attempt at creating a music video for the song "Just a Baby" from Neil Cicierega's new album "Mouth Dreams".

Lyrics:
when I was just a baby
my mama told me son
always be a baby
don't ever be a gun
but I shot a man in reno
just to watch him die
I hang my head and cry
(baby, baby, baby ohhhh)
when I was just a baby
(like, baby baby, baby ohhhhh)
when I was just a boy
(like baby, baby, baby ohhhhhhhh)
I shot a man in reno
(ohhhhh)
I was just a baby boy
I hear the train a coming
I hear that railroad train
it's probably a good train
my mama was a train
but I'm stuck in baby prison
I know I can't be free
I hang my head and pee
(baby, baby, baby ohhhh)
when I was just a baby
(like baby, baby, baby ohhhh)
when I was just a train
(like baby, baby, baby ohhhhh)
I shot a train
(ohhh)
but that train was just a car
I'm probably drinking coffee
just a baby drinking coffee
always drinking coffee
and smoking big cigars
well if they'd freed me from this prison
well if I was a car
I bet I'd be a good car
and that's what tortures me
when I was just a baby
when I was just a boy
my mama shot a man in reno
I was just a baby boy
(baby, baby, baby ohhhh)
when I was just a baby
(like baby, baby, baby ohhhh)
when I was just a train
(like baby, baby, baby ohhhhhhh)
I shit my pants
(ohhhh)
I was just a baby boy
