Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor
Just for the attention
'Cause that's just ridiculous...ly odd
Well, she sure is going to get it
Here's the setting
Fashion magazines line the walls now
The walls line the bullet holes
**A girl who was invited to a wedding witnesses the bride being shot. She claims, while the bride is unconscious, that "she's only doing this for the attention." The song is told from the point of view of the groom himself.
Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong
Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong
**The groom, who shot his bride, remembers what he said to his accomplice about how he needs to stand up tall and fix how he pulls the trigger. These lines might also be spoken from the girl's friend, who says that she's instigating this fight in the wrong way.
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
**The instigator knows that the groom shot his bride and he tells her to give him a break, trying to feign innocence. The shotgun lines imply that the groom and his accomplice used shotguns at the wedding. Meanwhile, the bride is getting closer to death.
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)
**The girl starts to break down and cry, faking everything to help give the groom an alibi. Everyone else believes her crying and tries to comfort her, leaving the groom to again ask if she can "give [him] a break."
Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong
Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong
**The groom remembers everything he said to his accomplice again, but he also thinks that the girl is starting something she never intended to start.
Come on this is screaming photo op, 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
**The groom is having too much fun to admit that he did something wrong. He asks the wedding photographer to take a picture (this is screaming photo op). When asked in private by his accomplice, he simply says that "boys will be boys", telling him that they were just having fun.
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
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and wearing aubergine dreams
**The instigator is still angry at the groom. She asks him about it too and he basically replies that boys are going to have fun whenever they can. Everyone else is laughing and dancing, while the bride might as well be dead as the song ends.
