Stick to Your Guns

I'll be gone when you read this so I just wanted to say

I'm sorry to the couple decent people who got in the way

And maybe there was a point at which this all coulda been different

But this is the position we're in and it's pointless to wish that it isn't

They'll all be gawking when I walk in the door

Cocking my shotgun hammer and they drop to the floor

The clocks shatter, I scatter the jock horde and splatter the chalkboard

It matters a lot more than half of you thought

When you were knocking me like I'm a laughingstock

And a weakling, a freak and a creep—I was mocked and ignored

You're sorry now but talk is cheap—shoulda thought it before

You're the sorry flock of sheep who made me rot to core

And of course, you'll make a break to escape through the corridor

Don't be late—I'll set you up on a date with the coroner

And our fates are sealed, all of you fakes

Don't worry, this will all be over soon

You got your finger on the trigger, kid

You got your finger on the trigger, kid, c'mon

Line it up, line it up, line it up

And hit me with the truth

You got your finger on the trigger, kid

You got your finger on the trigger, kid, c'mon

Line it up, line it up, line it up

And hit me with the truth

Thanks for tuning into the top-rated crew in the news

Feels great to us that we're the one that viewers would choose!

I'm hearing through my producer we've got the scoop on the name

And the favorite food of the shooter, plus an interview with a student

Who's been fed through a tube—she was shot in the head

We're gonna bring you a segment live from her hospital bed

We'll try to bring you the spin through your pre-existing opinions

But if we miss it switch it to our sister network instead

Of course we know this situation is tragic

But take a minute to appreciate our fabulous graphics

And we'll be back in action with up-to-the-second reports

After a couple of words from all our loyal sponsors of course

So like us, and vine us and tweet to connect

24/7 we're giving ya what you're craving

We live to deliver live the kinda coverage that you've come to expect

We're always here for you

You got your finger on the trigger, kid

You got your finger on the trigger, kid, c'mon

Line it up, line it up, line it up

And hit me with the truth (stick to your guns)

You got your finger on the trigger, kid (stick to your guns)

You got your finger on the trigger, kid, c'mon (stick to your guns)

Line it up, line it up, line it up (stick to your)

And hit me with the truth (guns)

We come together in this hour of need

To the honor the innocent victims of this cowardly deed

Of course I share your sentiment as your voice in the senate

But let's accept nothing ever could have been done to prevent it

It's just the strange inner visions of a deranged individual

Full of rage, full of hate, full of vitriol

I gotta mention that it's sick and insane

My opponent's twisting your pain for political gain

That's lame

And I think it's a damn shame

It doesn't give anyone power to cast blame

Because the past is past, and it's best that we keep things the same

So my Chads and my Staceys, go back to the mall

Fill your bags out at Macy's, and chat in the hall

And I hope I'm the vote that you cast in the fall

'Cause I care for you, it's true

Stick to your guns

Stick to your guns

Stick to your guns

Stick to your guns

You got your finger on the trigger, kid

You got your finger on the trigger, kid
