The Machine Gun Song Lyrics

If I could be anything
I'd be a machine gun
'Cuz everytime I see you
I'm sorry I don't own one
If I could be anything
You know I'd be a land mine
The next time you step on me
Will really be the last time
If I could be anything
I'd be an airborne ranger
I'd jump into your ship
When you treat me like a stranger
If I could be anything
I'd be a German U-boat
Sink you like a stone
'Cuz the new guy
Makes your soul float
Hold my hand
Like a knife in my back
My nose is bleeding
And my eyes are both black
Got lots of friends
I don't need anymore
I'm Steve McQueen
And you're Gestapo torture
If I could be anything
I'd be a machine gun
'Cuz everytime I see you
I'm sorry I don';t own one
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! I feel better now

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.
