Machine Gun Lyrics

Cover art for Machine Gun lyrics by Sara Bareilles

This is a song for the critics, the office gossips, the mean girls, etc. of the world who just want to bring you down because they can.

I especially think this part "Locked and loaded You're practically floating away now In your fortress you feel like You're more or less safe now" is directed at the online communities that hide behind their anonymity and are the most judgemental and cruelest of the bunch.

Other parts you can tell are directed at people who talk behind your back, smile to your face, and play dumb if you call them out on it.
