## Theme

"So this song is called BIG GUNS, and it's the one we're super excited about. This song was written back in the "Wars" days, but didn't end up making it on the album. It was in the "Wars in a Wonderland" era, and for some reason we just decided it didn't fit amongst those songs, so we decided to hold onto it for a little bit. And now it feels like the right time. (and we knew it was going to come out) and we just wanted to release a really hype-y song at the end of the year. And we couldn't think of anything hype-y-er than BIG GUNS. It's been a hype year, (it's been a good one), it's been an incredible year, so many of you found out about us this year, and it's been so, so amazing. So we decided to, you know, to go out with a bang. So the album art in this one is like a cannon competition, because I thought it's kind of like a grandiose song, so let's go with a grandiose idea. Also, there's nothing we can't turn into a competition. No, absolutely not. A theme that is recurring for us is someone didn't get what you were trying to accomplish, someone thinks you ain't shit. And you say, "ahaha, hold my beer". (Which I can officially say now, I am 21) I am the shit. I am, in fact, the shit. And you, in fact, are not shit. So we took that concept around, they said we ain't shit, and we turned that around and said "no, you ain't shit".

## Lyric

[Verse]

You know I've never been the one

To bite my cheek or hold my tongue

You put yourself on my bad side

Now I gotta be the bad guy

Do I need to spell it out?

D-E-A-D to me now

I got my heart set on revenge

And now I'm jumping off the deep end

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just getting started now

You never thought I'd make it out

Quiet, quiet, shut your mouth

Things are about to get loud

[Chorus]

I'm bringing out the big guns

This should be fun

Shock the system, ooh woah

Make you wish ya would've listened

But you didn't, did ya?

Back against the wall, I'll take it all

Your tower got too big, it's time it falls

[Post-Chorus]

I'm bringing out the big guns

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

I'm bringing out the big guns

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

[Verse]

Take a pause, and take your bow

You deserve it, don't you now?

You created a monster

And now I'm coming back to haunt ya

Nothing hurts quite like regret

You gambled, and you lost the bet

You ain't even seen the worst of me yet

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just getting started now (started now)

You never thought I'd make it out (make it out)

Quiet, quiet, shut your mouth (shut your mouth)

Things are about to get loud

[Chorus]

I'm bringing out the big guns

This should be fun

Shock the system, ooh woah

Make you wish ya would've listened

But you didn't, did ya?

Back against the wall, I'll take it all

Your tower got too big, it's time it falls

[Post-Chorus]

I'm bringing out the big guns

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

I'm bringing out the big guns

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

[Outro]

Big, big guns

It's gonna be fun, fun, fun

When I watch you run, run, run

Big, big guns

It's gonna be fun, fun, fun

When I watch you run, run, run
