Stick to Your Guns
Verse 1
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 it all coulda been different
But this is the position we’re in and it’s pointless to wish that it isn’t
You’ll all be gawking when I walk in the door
Cocking my shotgun hammer and you 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 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’m trynna arrange a date with the coroner
and our fate’s are sealed, all you fakes
don’t worry this will all be over soon
Chorus
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
Line it up, line it up, line it up
And hit me with the truth
Verse 2
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 preexisting 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, vine us, and tweet to connect
24/7 we’re giving ya what you’re craving
we live to deliver live the kinda coverage you’ve come to expect
we’re always here for you
Verse 3
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
But 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 Stacey’s, go back to the mall
Fill your bags up 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
Bridge
Stick to your guns
Stick to your guns
Stick to your guns
Stick to your guns
what happened to the video?!?
This song got me through some depressing times. Thanks Watsky 🙂
It took me a few listens to realise this is about shooting up a school
copyrighted
It took me so long to actually understand this yessss Watsky can I marry you? seriously your really smart and amazing
Who's here because of crankgameplays!
I've trouble hearing these lyrics and some of these metaphors. Please someone explain
Every artist I've listened to I always had at least one track that I felt I didn't like at all. Watsky is the exception, every song is powerful and beautiful.
I"m here cause Charmx sing this song
Reminds of me of Pink Guy rap songs
The third verse is Donald Trump obviously
That 2nd verse was legendary
Charmo
completely reminds me of columbine
I wanna play this song when I shoot up my school (not really… satire…)
Charmo the Car hoe and Charmx the chex mix. who came from the end of charmxs charmo reactions
owo
TIL only 2 states had any independent senators (when this was made)
Still feel this is the better video for this song.
Just watched the new video, I thought you didn't want to be a sheep herder though?
I read a review for a music video for this, but I can't find it anywhere on his channel?
well this is gonna be on repeat for the next 2 months. 😉
yoyo georoge keep the beats playing your inspiration to me
This song is such a masterpiece
I love Chole from We Bear Bears on the hook!! lolz
I'ma go ahead and do a cover of this with my band hahaha
At every live show, it's just such a good song
it's weird to see my state in a large video
The track download doesn't work. : P
The 'fulla rage, fulla hate, fulla vitriol' bit is a bop on its own tbh
libtard
bullshit
Love the visuals in this.
This needs a video
Any link to the chorus? (Without wastky rapping) thanks!
Sounds a bit like bo burnham channel 5 news….
I take this song as a speak out against tv networks or just big corporations in general being in it for the money
Was looking styg and found this crap.
deep shit
It's a sleepy and catchy song, but I'm far too lazy to figure the lyrics out. Does anyone wanna explain the premise of this song? And why is there a list of senators? Is this song about politics? I see some controversial "US" conversations in the comments as well… Anyone?
I love this song
i cant stop listening to this , i gotta finish reading your book watsky your lit!!!
