Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]
Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[Note: 1. The correct lyrics really say "GOD complex". It was confirmed by the band members
2. CD cover says "wishing to be the friction in HIS jeans" when in the song it's
clearly said "wishing to be the friction in YOUR jeans"]

Review about Sugar We're Going Down GOD Complex | Reviewer: Kati | 9/25/09
very obviously to those who were stating it's gun complex[FOB's too original to just say "gun complex"] it's not. it makes so much more sense when you put it all together
P.S. i was lucky enough to walk in to hot topic as soon as America's Suitehearts started playing ;D
this song is incredible.one of the best by FOB and did i mension i am a really huge fan of fall out boy!if you dont like fall out boy you have a problem with your head.i have every fall out boy song on my mp3 and this is my favourite. no one will forget fall out boy.SUGAR WERE GOIN DOWN!
I love this song :D | Reviewer: Kayleigh | 7/26/09
Haha i basically grew up with this song playing around me. Like on the radio I'd be rocking out in the backseat and my parents didn't even hear half the lyrics...which is lucky for me lol.
Is it true that Patrick wrote this, i had someone tell me that, and im like 'Wha-?'? Coz i expected it to be a Pete-thing...what with the whole jelousy-stalkerish verse :S
Somebody point out *where* the band said otherwise! | Reviewer: Eterna | 3/31/09
I have to agree it's "loaded GUN complex." Nowhere in the song is any other allusion made to megalomania; it doesn't make sense in the context of a song about jealousy. They've come up with another term here aside from 'god complex'--it's a 'loaded gun complex', the philosophy that when you have an opportunity you should just go for it regardless of consequences--as when holding a loaded gun, and you feel the temptation just to aim at whatever's bothering you and pull the trigger, or to shoot just for the heck of it. This reflects the sentiments of "that's just who I am THIS WEEK" and "going down (swinging) in an earlier round." It's a perfectly legitimate use; a god complex isn't the ONLY complex possible! 'God complex' doesn't make sense sandwiched between mention of "a bullet" and the clearly gun-related "cock it and pull it," while "loaded gun complex" fits perfectly into the extended metaphor.
IT IS LOADED GOD COMPLEX.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/3/08
It is a play on words..
A person is who is said to have a "God complex", does not believe he is god, but acts so arrogantly that he might as well believe his is God or appointed to act by God.
Some believe that "God complexes" are particularly common in arrogant, highly educated, worldly, or powerful people.
lmao, u guys r stupid | Reviewer: name | 10/10/08
for all you ppl who think that FOB or green day is emo, you really don't know anything about music. the emo music scene didn't last very long, it was between the mid 80's to the mid 90's w/ bands like Rites of Spring, Fire Party, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Texas is the reason.
MR POTATOE HEAD IS WRONG | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/5/08
when the song says i'll be your number 1 with a bullet....they arent actually talking about a bullet....when songs go from the bottom of the charts to the top...the call it a bullet...and they are talking about like a bf...he will be her number one bf rly fast.
Loaded *God* complex makes more sense | Reviewer: James | 12/8/07
It's called poetry, people. Why would they say "loaded gun complex?"
Definition of complex in the lyrics.. "Psychology. a system of interrelated, emotion-charged ideas, feelings, memories, and impulses that is usually repressed and that gives rise to abnormal or pathological behavior."
If someone has a God complex, it generally means they suffer from Megalomania, or delusions of grandeur. What would a loaded *gun* complex mean? That makes less sense than *God* complex.
"Loaded God complex" sounds better, anyway.
u fucking retards!!!!! | Reviewer: ms.emo | 12/3/07
