Why’d You Bring a Shotgun To The Party?

The Pretty Reckless The Pretty Reckless

Alone, afraid, the kid your mother made
Sittin' in your room drooling like a loser with all this doom
You think, then you start to drink
And you get so paranoid with all the drugs they fill you with
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

I admit, I feel like you, like shit
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?
Feel better we won't miss it

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
You wanna make a statement?
You should have come without it

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 they fuckin' care
And boom
Do you think they hear you now? (and boom)
Making noises in the crowd
All in the way that you use it
If you love it so much then why do you abuse it?

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
You wanna make a statement?
You should have come without it

We're all part of the system
Load'm up, shoot'm down
But you keep fucking missing

Alone, afraid, you wanna make them pay that's

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
You wanna get the girl?
Then you should have come without it

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
