Please Mr. Gunman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please Mr. Gunman
Before you go out on your spree
Please Mr. Gunman
I'd like to make a humble request
Before you kill us, dead forever
Please Mr. Gunman, consider our after-life

[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church

[Verse 2]
At the mall
We'll consume our material things
In our school
We're learning evolution
Inside the nightclub, we are drunk with pleasure

[Bridge]
At church on Sunday
We pray for forgiveness
At church on Sunday
We pray for forgiveness
In church on Sunday
We're ready to go to heaven

[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church

[Guitar Solo]
Please Mr. Gunman
Since there's no stopping you
Please Mr. Gunman
Don't be an inconsiderate prick

[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
Where my god, to be

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.

This is obviously a stab at religion, a sort of fuck the church anthem. It sounds really edgy but its really witty. In the second verse he talks about how modern churchgoers can basically get out of sin free by praying for forgiveness. he also jokes about how serious church people are kind of weird, but totally just sticking it to religion.
