Sara Bareilles - Machine Gun Lyrics
Tell me off in a letter
Completely ignore me
Getting high off of saying
Why you don't adore me?
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
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
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
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
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

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

Anyone else come here because of Barrett’s cover??
Thinking about this song a lot lately, with all of the school shootings... sad that people are driven to picking up a gun and killing their classmates when they haven't been supported or were even abused as a child.
Let's all try to be a little kinder today. :)
