Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I said I don't know what I did but I know I gotta move
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose
[Verse 2]
An now you're blowin' smoke
I think you're one big joke
Me... I gotta lot ta learn
An I'm still waitin' for the heads to turn
You say I walk a line
Fuck, they move it every time
You walk a mile in my shoes
An then you tell me 'bout singin' the blues
You get what you pay for
An freedom's real high priced
An while you're rippin' off children
Somebody's fuckin' your wife
It's never made a difference
It's only how you survive
[Verse 3]
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I said I don't know what I did but I know I gotta move
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose
[Verse 4]
An now you ask me why
I said it's do or die
I'll stick it right in your face
And then I'll put you in your motherfuckin' place
An you... you can suck my ass
An I think it's so low class
Me... I'm just so concerned
I'm still waitin' for your ass to burn
You want a confrontation
I'll give you every fuckin' chance
With your verbal masturbation
Me... I just like to dance
How's that for provocation
I'm just makin' a stance
An I'm tired of the frustration
Of livin' inside of your lies
And I'm wired on indignation
I said somebody's got to die
[Verse 5]
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I said, I don't know what I did but I know I gotta move
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I can't stay here forever, I got too much here to lose
[Verse 6]
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
Listen motherfucker, you're about to pay your dues
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
If you're goin' up against me then you know you're gonna lose
[Verse 7]
I know
I know (There's ways)
I know (That we)
I know (Can find)
[Verse 8]
You think anyone with an IQ over fifteen
Is gonna believe your shit...
Fuckhead
[Verse 9]
Nothin' but a fuckin' pussy
