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?

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

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

    [Intro]
    Tell me off in a letter
    Completely ignore me

    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

    [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]
    Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
    Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
    Will you try it once?

    Will you try it once?
    Give up the machine gun
    Will you try it once?
    Give up the machine gun

  3. K.... R....

    Anyone else come here because of Barrett’s cover??

  4. E.... W....

    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. :)
