Russian Roulette Lyrics

Hey boy pushin' on your girlfriend

 Trying to show her all the pain you feel inside

 Yeah and head all scrambled and the love is gone

 And you don't know what went wrong

 But I think I heard you hissing something about blue steel

 

 But when you talk about something like gun play

 Let me tell you it's a losing bet

 But when the hammer falls all bets are called

 And five to one you're gonna lose

 When you talk about something like Russian Roulette

 

 Tears run down your sweet love's face

 I say she's a mirror of your insides

 And you can't scream loud enough to let it go

 And you mouthful of pride you just can't swallow

 Rips your soul like a hurricane tide

 

 But when you talk about something like gun play

 Let me tell you it's a losing bet

 But when the hammer falls all bets are called

 And five to one you're gonna lose

 When you talk about something like Russian Roulette

 

 Pack up your ego and your tantrum

 Put it back with your anger and your pride

 Beating up on your girlfriend

 Ain't gonna change anything inside

 

 But when you talk about something like gun play

 Let me tell you it's a losing bet

 But when the hammer falls all bets are called

 And five to one you're gonna lose
