shotgun blues
GUNS NґROSES Lyrics

I got the shotgun blues
I am in a situation of emotional distress and confusion

Shotgun blues
I am willing to use extreme measures to escape this situation

I said I don't know what I did
I am unsure of what caused my situation

But I know I gotta move
I am aware that I cannot stay in this situation indefinitely

I can't wait here forever
I cannot afford to stay in this situation indefinitely

I got too much here to lose
I have too many valuable things to risk losing by staying here

And now you're blowin' smoke
You are acting arrogantly and overconfidently

I think you're one big joke
I find your behavior ridiculous

Me...I gotta lot to learn
I acknowledge that I still have much to learn about life

An I'm still waitin' for the heads to turn
I am waiting for others to take notice of me

You say I walk a line
You believe I adhere to societal norms

Fuck they move it every time
Societal norms are constantly changing and subject to interpretation

You walk a mile in my shoes
You should try to understand my perspective and experiences

And then you tell me 'bout singin' the blues
You should not judge me or assume you know what I am going through

You get what you pay for An freedom's real high priced
Freedom is valuable and comes at a cost

An while your rippin' off children Somebody's fuckin' your wife
You are corrupt and dishonest, and someone is retaliating against you

It's never made a difference
Nothing seems to change or improve

It's only how you survive
All that matters is that you are able to keep going and stay alive

And now you ask me why
You are questioning my motives and actions

I said it's do or die
I am facing a critical situation and must act fast

I'll stick it right in your face
I am ready to confront you and stand up for myself

And then I'll put you in your motherfuckin' place
I will assert my power and make sure you know your place

An you...you can suck my ass
I do not respect you or value your opinion

An I think it's so low class
I find your behavior distasteful and crass

Me...I'm just so concerned
I am focused on my own well-being and interests

I'm still waitin' for your ass to burn
I am waiting for you to receive the consequences of your actions

Ooooh you want a confrontation
You are seeking conflict and confrontation

I'll give you every fuckin' chance
I am willing to engage in conflict with you

With your verbal masturbation
You are indulging in meaningless talk and bragging

Me...I just like to dance
I prefer to enjoy life and have fun rather than engaging in pointless conflicts

How's that for provocation
I am deliberately trying to provoke you

I'm just makin' a stance
I am taking a position and sticking to it

An I'm tired of the frustration
I am exhausted by the difficulties I face

Of livin' inside of your lies
I am tired of being deceived by you

And I'm wired on indignation
I am motivated by a strong sense of injustice and anger

I said somebody's got to die
I am so angry and frustrated that I feel someone has to suffer the ultimate consequence

Listen motherfucker
I am speaking directly to you

You're about to pay your dues
You will finally face the consequences of your actions

If you're goin' up against me Then you know you're gonna lose
You are no match for me and will inevitably be defeated

You think anyone with an I.Q. over fifteen Would believe your shit...fuckhead
You are stupid and delusional if you think anyone believes your lies and deceit

Nothin' but a fuckin' pussy
You are weak and cowardly
