Machine Gun

[Intro] Tell me off in a letter Completely ignore me Getting high off of saying Why you don't adore me? [Verse 1] Baby, please, I'm well versed In how I might be cursed I don't need it articulated Stand in line wasting All of your time just to hate me Every dime gone to ways You can find that might bait me And drag me down, sight set proudly Bring me to the ground see You love to be somebody's enemy [Chorus] Maybe nobody loved you when you were young Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes Will you try it once? Give up the machine gun Machine gun [Verse 2] Locked and loaded You're practically floating away now In your fortress you feel like You're more or less safe now But let me say I don't mean harm Oh, but, baby, you'd be charming if you'd come undone Get back where you started from [Chorus] [Verse 3] Never mind how you've rationed your time And the battle is underway Maybe times are gonna change Don't just hide in the silence behind What you've really been trying to say What a skill, baby, aiming to kill me With words you don't mean [Chorus] [Outro] Will you try it once? Give up the machine gun Will you try it once? Give up the machine gun Machine gun
