Rock - Paper - Scissors

Rock * paper * scissors


G.I.-Joe is all covered in snow.
Lucky Jane cut a metal show.
One- two- three-
The same game as me!
Who's that tie breaker, John doe?

Shelter me with paper above.
Rocks of salvation with love.
Blessing from heaven 
Is it 12 disciples or eleven?
Scissors I'm dreaming of~

Rocks bring to much grief
Turn over a new leaf
I found a new plan
Hold the paper in your hand
Find the page of belief.
