Tell me off in a letter
Completely ignore me
Getting high off of saying
Why you don't adore me?
Baby please I'm well versed
In how I might be cursed
I don't need it articula---ted
---- x2
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
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
Post chorus: ---- x2
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 ba--by you'd be charming
if you'd come undone
Get back where you started from
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Never mind how you've rationed your time
And the battle is underway
C#
May-----be times are gonna change
Don't just hide in the silence behind
---- x2
What you've really been trying to say
What a skill baby aiming to kill me
With words you don't mean
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
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun
