About This Track

'Machine Gun' by Sum 41 is a rock song from the album 'Half Hour of Power' (2000). The lyrics place the narrator in a disorienting, headache-heavy state of confusion, wandering through someone else’s place and scanning the world as if it is hitting hard and fast, with the weekend turning the bed into shared ground. The phrasing turns on immediacy and unease, capturing the feeling of being “holding my head” while trying, abruptly, to make sense of what is happening.

"Machine Gun" is a track by Sum 41, from the album Half Hour of Power, released 26th June 2000. The track is 2:29 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Sum 41.

Lyrics

Machine Gun

Well I'm up and I don't know why
But I guess that's all that counts
Looking 'round as I'm holding my head
And I'm in somebody's house
The sun it hits like a punch in the face
With a headache I can't ignore
Seems almost every weekend my bed is someone's floor
And so I can't keep this up
I have had enough
Eating cold pizza on the side of the curb
To cover up my morning breath of gin
Something doesn't seem to sit with me right
It's going out the way it went in
And so I can't keep this up
I have had enough
'cause you can count me out
I'm on to you
'cause you can count me out
I'm tired of leaving my embarrassments behind
