Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor
Just for the attention
'Cause that's just ridiculous...ly on
Well, she sure is gonna get it
Here's the setting
Fashion magazines line the walls
Now, the walls line the bullet holes

[Chorus]
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)

[Post-Chorus]
Give me envy, give me malice
Give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice
Baby, give me a break
When I say, "Shotgun"
You say, "Wedding"
Shotgun wedding
Shotgun wedding

[Verse 2]
She didn't choose this role
But she'll play it and make it sincere so
You cry, you cry (Give me a break)
But they believe it from the tears and the teeth
Right down to the blood at her feet
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen
And wearing Aubergine Dreams (Give me a break)

[Chorus]
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)

[Bridge]
Come on, this is screaming, "Photo op," come on, come on
This is screaming, this is screaming, this is screaming, "Photo op"
Boys will be boys, baby, boys will be boys
Boys will be boys, baby, boys will be boys

[Post-Chorus]
Give me envy, give me malice
Give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice
Baby, give me a break
When I say, "Shotgun"
You say, "Wedding"
Shotgun wedding
Shotgun wedding

[Outro]
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen
And boys will be boys
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen
And wearing Aubergine Dreams

[Verse 1]
Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor
Just for the attention
'Cause that's just ridiculous...ly odd
Well, she sure is gonna get it
Here's the setting
Fashion magazines line the walls
Now, the walls line the bullet holes

[Pre-Chorus]
You sure, you sure you let her have it
You sure, you sure you...

[Chorus]
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)

[Post-Chorus]
Give me envy, give me malice
Give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice
Baby, give me a break
When I say "Shotgun"
You say "Wedding"
Shotgun, wedding
Shotgun, wedding

[Verse 2]
Well, she didn't choose this role
But she'll play it and make it sincere, so
You cry, you cry (Baby, give me a break)
But they believe it from the tears and the teeth
Right down to the blood at her feet
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen
And wearing Aubergine dreams
(Baby, give me a break, break, break, break)

[Chorus]
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)
Have some composure, where is your posture? (Oh, no, no)
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger (All wrong)

[Bridge]
Come on, this is screaming "Photo op, op"
(It's time to dance)
Come on, this is screaming "Photo op, op"
(It's time to dance)
Come on, come on
This is screaming, this is screaming, this is screaming "Photo op"
(It's time to dance)

[Interlude]
Have some composure, where is your posture?
You sure, you sure you let her have it
You're pulling the trigger, pulling the trigger
You sure, you sure...

[Post-Chorus]
Well, give me envy, give me malice
Give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice
Baby, give me a break
When I say "Shotgun"
You say "Wedding"
Shotgun, wedding
Shotgun, wedding

[Outro]
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen
And boys will be boys
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen
And wearing Aubergine dreams
