Why’d You Bring a Shotgun to the Party

The Pretty Reckless

Alone, afraid, the kid your mother made
Sitting in your room drooling like a loser with all this doom 
You think, then you start to drink 
Then 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 out 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?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it 
Want to 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 
Whistle to dimensions see there's really nothing there 
You want it so much you think they think they fucking care (and boom) 
Do you think they hear you now? (and boom) 
Making noises in the crowd 
All in the way that you're using 
You love it so much then why do you abuse it? 

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 
Want to make a statement? 
You should have come without it 

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

(We're all part of the system 
Load em up, shoot em down 
'Cause you keep fucking missing)

Alone, afraid, you want to make em pay
