Shot Shot Lyrics

Well, hey, how's tricks man?
Think I've seen you before
Blank blank to that

You looked a lot older
You been working out
What's wrong with that?

Well he came back and he
Came a-marching in
Shot shot to that

You found a good reason
Well, do it for the money
What's wrong with that?

Control your bad side
Into battle we go down
Hold the line
You'll survive
Dead wrong

So please stop talking and
Start puckering up
My ears are blank

It's a special occasion
So do it for the money
Can't go wrong with that

Explode or capsize
But find my going
If you're down
Toe the line
You'll survive
Dead wrong

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well I have no idea what it's about but man it's a good song. It's so musically complex, so much is happening constantly, Gomez is always a treat for the ears. And the drumming early in the song, when everything starts playing for the first time, is unbelievable, it's so insane.

It's about running into a male prostitute he had met in the past, learning how society condones such practices and discredited as an individual. Gomez, in acceptance of all facets of life, conveys it's not about who you are on the outside, its about the inside that counts.
