Chorus:
Little triggers that you pull with your tongue
Little triggers I don't wanna be hung up
Strung up when you don't call up
Little sniggers on your lips
Little triggers in your grip
Little triggers, my hand on your hip

Thinking all about those censored sequences
Worrying about the consequences
Waiting until I come to my senses
Better put it all in present tenses

(Chorus)

Worrying about the common decency
When it is only a question of frequency
When you say OK, but I gotta cheek
To be saying you're tired of me
When you don't even weaken these
Little triggers...

(chorus)
