Why’d You Bring a Shotgun to the Party lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alone, afraid, the kid your mother made
Sitting in your room drooling like a loser with all this doom
You think, and then you start to drink
Then you get so paranoid with all the drugs they fill you with

[Pre-Chorus]
Then boom - does it make you feel like a man?
Boom - it's not the size, we understand
Boom - you think you're gonna get with me
You're never gonna get with me
You're never gonna dance with me

[Verse 2]
I admit, I feel like you, like sh*t
But I don't go round and take it out on everyone about it
We're all part of the system
You wanna start a war? You think that anyone would listen?

[Chorus]
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Wanna make a statement? You should've come without it

[Verse 3]
You turn the TV on, watch it if you dare
You see a politician and you start to pull your hair
But it's all two dimension, see there's really nothing there
You wanna tell them what you think, you think they f*cking care?
[Pre-Chorus]
And boom - do you think they hear you now?
And boom - making noises in the crowd
All in the way that you use it
You love it so much, then why do you abuse it?

[Chorus]
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Wanna make a statement? You should've come without it

[Bridge]
We're all part of the system
Load em up, shoot em down, but you keep f*cking missing
We're all part of the system
Load em up, shoot em down, but you keep f*cking missing

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Alone, afraid, you wanna make them pay…

[Chorus]
That’s why you bring a shotgun to the party
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Wanna get the girl, then you should've come without it
[Outro]
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
