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 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
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, yeah
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
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
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, yeah
