Shotguns and Secrets Songtext
von Brabo Gator

Britney went to school today (today, today)
With a smile painted on her mask (mask)
When the teacher asked her, "What′s wrong?" (What's wrong?)
Britney sang the same old song

Shotguns and secrets (hey, hey, da-da-da-da-da)
Pain pills and Jesus (hey, hey, da-da-da-da-da)
And it′s too late to run away ('way)
The chaos is tertiary (hey)
The money's the root of my misery
I′m a victim of these dreams
Life′s cut me open (life's cut me open)
Now I′m shattered and broken (now I'm shattered and broken)
Nobody hears my screams or cares if I cry
I′m surrounded by shotguns and secrets

Britney went to school today (today, today)
With tears stained on her mask (her mask)
When her friends asked her, "What's wrong?" (What′s wrong?)
Britney sang them a brand-new song


She said, "I'm a victim of daddy's prescriptions
Me and mama begged him, but he didn′t listen
And now he′s gone, and we're all alone
See, yesterday when I got home
He was laying on the ground, tears dripping on the dirt
Handcuffed by a man with three letters on his shirt
In that same fear, when my mama hit the ground
They said they walked in and found

Shotguns and secrets" (hey, hey, da-da-da-da-da)
Pain pills and Jesus (hey, hey, da-da-da-da-da)
And it′s too late to run away ('way)
The chaos is tertiary (hey)
The money′s the root of my misery
I'm a victim of these dreams
Life′s cut me open (life's cut me open)
Now I'm shattered and broken (now I′m shattered and broken)
Nobody hears my screams or cares if I cry
I′m surrounded by shotguns and secrets

Britney missed school today (today, today)
They found bloodstains on her mask (her mask)
A letter and a bottle of pills
Daddy's old shotgun and the pain she killed
The letter said (the letter)
"Daddy, I love you, Mama, I miss you
I′m so sorry for the pain I'm ′bout to give you
Life's hard, and to tell you the truth
Growing up, the only things I knew


Were shotguns and secrets" (hey, hey, da-da-da-da-da)
Pain pills and Jesus (hey, hey, da-da-da-da-da)
And it′s too late to run away ('way)
The chaos is tertiary (hey)
The money's the root of my misery
I′m a victim of these dreams
Life′s cut me open (life's cut me open)
Now I′m shattered and broken (now I'm shattered and broken)
Nobody hears my screams or cares if I cry
I′m surrounded by shotguns and secrets
