Machine Gun Kelly Wigs Out in "papercuts" Video

It's the first single from the rapper-turned-rocker's forthcoming album 'Born with Horns'

Megan Fox's boyfriend is back with a new single ahead of his recently-announced — via matching tattoos with Travis Barker — Born with Horns album. Obviously, "papercuts" comes along with a suitably-Machine Gun Kelly music video, directed by Cole Bennett.

Following previous single "love race" with Kellin Quinn (and its likewise campy music video), "papercuts" carries on the MGK-Barker collaborative tradition: so basically, lyrics like, "Don't belong, I'm a punk / Hello world, you fuckin' suck," pretty much sum up the whole ethos.

In the video, MGK shapeshifts between several different looks to amp up surreal soundstage scenes of him playing a giant guitar on stilts — an island amongst a sea of misfit toys that eventually turn into people (dressed in costume, of course). MGK also rides a motorcycle with horns (ha, get it?) and makes his way through a series of hairstyles, including a bald cap that he rips off his head at one point.

We also see Barker tearing it up on the drums, because he really is everywhere these days.

Watch the video for "papercuts" below to see for yourself.

MGK recently appeared in the first trailer for Jackass Forever.
