Blue Stahli - Shoot Em Up Lyrics






We'll put your picture on a magazine
Gotta get your face on a video screen
We'll make you famous if you're helping us out
Boost the ratings with the panic route
That's the way, that's the way
You gotta give 'em all a show

Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it up
Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it
Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it up
Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it

We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay
We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay

It doesn't matter if you disagree
We're making it hand over fist on tragedy
The revolution will be televised
But just the part that we can monetize
That's the way, that's the way
You gotta give 'em all a show

Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it up
Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it
Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it up
Get your gun, get your gun, baby, and shoot it up, shoot it

We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay
We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay

We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay
We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay

We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay
We'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say
Just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make 'em pay

    Your second meaning link is broken, what was it?


    This is also my favorite song about this subject. Way too many people write lyrics about the shooters. They always leave the media alone. Absolutely disgusting.

  3. P.... B....

    I'll be really pissed if the idiots from MSM might use this song as another scapegoat for another mass shooting...

  4. R.... ....

    One does not simply listen to this song at normal tempo after hearing it at 1.25x speed!

  5. R.... M....

    Pro Gun Boomer:This is a wired and load song but it promotes pro gun
    Anti Gun Millennial:THIS IS SONG IS RACIST!
    Me a Gen Z gun owner:Love the song and its beat

    R.... M....

    First gen Millennial here, hate the propaganda machine, also a gun nut if they could label me: this shit is straight cocaine for the ears.

  13. M.... S....

    In a world where love songs are pretty much the only thing we hear on the radio (Wich are extremely annoying at this point)

    Your music is about the only escape from that. I love the content, I love your art and I have a huuuge admiration for your skill Bret!

    a man has recently set himself on fire in this country, following what a student has done during the russian occupation.
    if one replaces gun with gas, and shoot it up with light it up, this fits
    that said, yes i know, media delight in suffering and misery, and i know this song describes them still to this day, not exposing, but rather pointing out their monotone and archaic ways, using violence to connect humans across the globe, rather than not give violence a spotlight above all else
    but the fact that just replacing mere words and leaving the rest be, works (excluding the make them pay ofc), doesnt blow my mind, but is rather intriguing and disgusting, because just like media who will change their way of reporting violence in a very shallow way, very shallow effort is required to make such a change like the gas and the chorus) is, strange
    (also push the lighter)

  25. O.... H....

    Tf this trash

    Kitchen gun, Kitchen gun baby!!

  28. J.... E....

    Gunnz from FAM took me here

  29. J.... D....

    I thought this song was originally about how record labels would entice young people (mostly female) to over time give up their dignity, to be more sexual by wearing costumes  that where revealing and the lyrics sexual in nature, I thought it was originally about basically tricking people into selling themselves to the music and acting/modelling industry and having their autonomy and sense of self removed etc and being turned into a puppet by whom ever they signed to

  30. S.... M....

    Nice beat

  31. M.... ....

    This song got scarily relevant and on-point lately.

  32. Y.... C....

    I love your music so much! It keeps me alive~

  33. D.... S....

    GuNNz theme is awesome

  34. C.... C....

    wow It's current

  36. K.... D....

    I love how at 0:05, with the timing of it, the drums actually sound a bit like a gunshot.

  37. R.... ....

    This sounds like the intro to some badass Spy movie

    R.... ....

    Mr Mc TwistyFlops More like a Theme Song to a Cyborg Cowboy

  38. P.... ....

    Wait... doesn’t this kind of have to do with America supplying other country’s weapons, especially the ones that fight each other? As well as mass shootings?

    P.... ....

    RileyPlays he provided links to give context in the description. It's more about how TV stations and news outlets show mass shootings. They talk 24/7 about it, show the shooters face, make it dramatic, publish their kill streak, etc. This could inspire somone to shoot something up. Just watch the videos in the description and you'll get it

  39. E.... M....

    Ah.....here's Gunnz's new theme from FaM. For any Wrestling fan that doesn't know FaM BTW, highly recommended. For those who aren't.....well nevermind this comment, I'm just happy I found this song.

    S.... E....

    Chicken Ass why ya dont shoot her like a real merica boi

  58. W.... ....

    this song shlaps

  59. �.... �....

    awesome

  60. g.... ....

    This song is great and a great commentary on school shootings and exactly why they're an epidemic. Whenever people ask why America has so many school shootings I just say "things become epidemics the more the media covers and obsesses over them, because they seem more and more like viable options when that happens."

    The tone of this song feels so well fitting especially at the part of "we'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you what to say, just leave it all up to us and we'll help you make them pay."

    g.... ....

    @Raven Drakearud No but If someone reports mental behaviors being exhibited by someone in public making a scene, maybe give them an evaluation.

    g.... ....

    What if we just had mandatory evaluations for everyone? That way anyone who needed psychiatric help could get it, no matter their condition. I know I would have been better off if my depression had been treated earlier on

    g.... ....

    @RandomAccessMisery That too.

    g.... ....

    actually the role of mental illness in violence is overstated. Most people with so called mental illness are no more likely to engage in violence than the public at large. Also, the transition away from asylums toward non-institutional mental healthcare helped many people with mental illness to lead productive lives and do better than they would have in asylums. Granted that there are some who need more aid and some who may need institutionalization, but most are better served by non-intuitional aid.

    g.... ....

    jonathan Makeley Part of it may not be mental illness but rather inherited aggression. Some people are more prone to violence than others due to a genetic disposition to be more aggressive. This is usually referred to as the warrior gene. But sometimes it can also be out of desperation, if enough shitty things happen to someone it can be enough to make them snap.

  61. w.... ....

    reminds me of John Wick

  62. A.... N....

    Sums up the media perfectly. Also love ya Bret, been listening since 2010.

  63. M.... D....

    I would like to thank you for this music... :)

  64. B.... A....

    music sound like Celldweller.

    B.... A....

    Marshal, FiXT is the record label where artist such as Celldweller, Blue Stahli, Voicians, The Qemists and many others are signed to! Check them out!

    B.... A....

    +AntiMaterija Thank you bro/Hvala buraz

    B.... A....

    @Marshal Law Ovo je bilo neocekivano hahah

    B.... A....

    +AntiMaterija Great minds think alike...Welcome to internet.. axaxa..Nasao Sam ovaj bend kad Sam gledao WoW klipove xD

    B.... A....

    @Marshal Law Ja sam ih pronasao na trejleru za Reboot Twisted Metal serijala. Bret je genije sto se tice muzike! Drago mi je da vidim da ljudi sa ovih prostora cene ovakvu muziku!

  65. N.... ....

    I almost wish the lyrics were "we'll help you pull the trigger, we'll tell you who to hate."

    N.... ....

    Kind of me too. Switch every second "we'll tell you what to say" for "we'll tell you who to hate". But still a great song.

    N.... ....

    Nightshift10000
    cool idea!

  66. V.... ....

    r u sure its "shoot em up"... it sounds like hes saying "shoot it up" xD

  67. E.... W....

    Completely sums up how sick it is when society seems to "romanticize" and make "famous" these murderers

  68. A.... ....

    Sounds like weird al, srangely

  69. v.... ....

    your music pumps so hard

  70. H.... R....

    This reminds me a lot of "The Fall" for some reason. I love both the songs though :D

  71. F.... ....

    Some guuud shiiit ! As usual from Blue Stahli.

  72. C.... C....

    me likey, you are an inspiration to us all Mr Blue, spread the flames.

  73. A.... P....

    too good!!

  74. M.... ....

    the song is fantastic, and it addresses something I've been angry about for a long time (mainstream media feeding frenzies over tragic mass murders). the only real criticism I have is of the chorus, which just repeats the same four (good) lines when it feels like it could've said more with that space. I would love to see a version that keeps the same or similar rhyming scheme, but uses a different set of lyrics for the second quartet in the chorus, or a different first quartet, keeping the original for the second since it's so impactful.

    I love this song, can't get enough, but it just feels weak in that regard. Maybe it's my love of poetry and maximizing available word space, and most people don't care. :) Keep doing what you do.

    M.... ....

    I see your comment is 2 years old but still I feel like this song is much more instrumentally focused than lyrically which would explain the lack of potential lyrics

    M.... ....

    @Jacob Breakey As is the case with most of Blue Stahli's music. He does alot of pure instrumentals and when there are lyrics, they really do feel like a binus to the main point ie the music itself.

  75. j.... ....

    The second link is down

  76. j.... h....

    Blue stahli and celldweller music is the best music.
    but ...blue stahli was first ;)

    have a nice day

    germany loves you :D

    j.... h....

    "Blue Stahli was first" Huh? Celldweller made it in the business first and actually mentored Blue Stahli.

    j.... h....

    I don't care who was first,both are epic👍😁

  77. A.... A....

    TOTALLY a satirical indictment of the NRA mindset...

    A.... A....

    More like an indictment of both sides

    A.... A....

    invictus14 I think it's moreso an indictment of the media's sensationalist coverage of mass shootings

  78. p.... ....

    One of my favorites from the album, instant love from the first listen. The part "get your gun baby and shoot it up" reminds me of the album V is for Vagina from Puscifer, sounds like Maynard, I like it.

    p.... ....

    +pr050505 That's the exact association I made :P

  79. I.... ....

    What I love about this song is how delightfully malicious it is, almost reveling in the wealth generated by turning bloody horror into almost cartoonish entertainment. Although to be perfectly honest, this is as much our fault as it is the corporate news. Lets get real; *WE EAT THIS SHIT UP.* Hey, you, reading this comment, here's a fun little game: Next shooting you hear about, tell everybody in the most populated room about it if they havent heard already, and keep a stopwatch to time how quick they pull out their phones or run to the closest TV.

  80. M.... D....

    Shoot Em Up, ShutEmDown.

    M.... D....

    *headshot confirmed*

    M.... D....

    That's my bumper sticker!

  81. E.... J....

    Thank you Bret, I've always felt you're with us since I met you [ULTRAnumb] but I really had to check after this got released immediately after Oregon

  82. C.... B....

    The best of this album god dammit :(

    C.... B....

    What's with the sadface?

    C.... B....

    +4nia 4ever I can tell you that grief because of the power of love for this song ☹♡

    C.... B....

    @Osamah al-harbi Oh :D

  83. G.... C....

    damn Bret... I really want the two childrens xD!! hahahahaha fucking amazing song

  84. Z.... G....

    Blue Stahli, your voice is pure crack.
    A bold statement on Media. Don't ever stop singing.

    Z.... G....

    Rachael
    Lol

    Z.... G....

    @Rachael you can shoot yourself in the mirror instead? I think that's wh0le .

  85. L.... I....

    So FUKIN COOL!

  86. r.... ....

    Tastefully done on a sensitive topic. I refuse to give attention to these warped minds and the media glorifying and thus encouraging this all too played out behavior. Eargasmic song btw! Thank you for this:)

  87. I.... i....

    man i get this song

  88. M.... W....

    Eargasm

  89. A.... T....

    This is damn good

  90. A.... ....

    This song is so desperately needed right now...

    L.... ....

    i think its "boost the waiting on the panic route" but thats just what I hear

    L.... ....

    @Dashyy No, it's boost the ratings with the panic route. Just as in OP's comment (at least that is what the transcript of the lyrics say in the digital version of the album)

    L.... ....

    +Dashyy It would make more sense, in context, to be "boost the ratings with the panic route," since this is about the glorification of mass shooters.

    L.... ....

    +Vandus Barq Particularly the Boston Bomber appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone.

    L.... ....

    I swear to god, if there's another mass shooting somewhere in the world the idiots might use this song as another scapegoat...

  92. D.... F....

    The lyrics " The revolution will bz televised" reminds me little The Vengefull one from disturbed's newest album

    D.... F....

    +francoispepe Right! I knew it seemed familiar from somewhere.

    D.... F....

    snoop dogg also uses that line in plastic beach with the gorrilaz

    D.... F....

    francoispepe well actually it’s a reference to Gil Scott herons poem/song from 1970, “The revolution will not be televised”

    It’s such a great and memorable line which is why it’s been referenced so many times in other media. Either in its original form or as “the revolution WILL be televised” for the irony and to make a statement about the media or something along those lines

  93. D.... F....

    This prechorus is catchy as hell :D \m/
