Machine Gun Man Songtext
von Pride & Glory

Tell me what a young man mama, what′s he got to live for
Tossed in the [Incomprehensible] everyday war
Searchin' for some trouble, Lord, which I′m sure he will find
Spend your whole life fightin' son, meet your dyin' time

It′s a shame, it′s a shame, Lord
The trigger be his only friend, it's a shame, oh yeah
But it ain′t never gonna end, Lord that's right

He′s a pocketful of hate that don't give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain′t got no future and he ain't got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man? The machine gun man
Step aside

I can't see tomorrow and I don′t see today
Trail of confusion Lord done leadin′ my way
They say the only thing worth killin', Lord be killin′ time
I say the only soul worth savin' now mama, resavin′ mine


It's a shame, it′s a shame, Lord
The trigger be his only friend, it's a shame, oh yeah
But it ain't never gonna end, that′s right

He′s a pocketful of hate that don't give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain′t got no future and he ain't got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man? Alright

He keeps shootin′ mama like any old fool would do
Lord, the life he be leadin' ain′t the one he has to choose
As he walks on out that door, mama breaks down to cry
Oh, as she waves the machine gun man
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, yeah

Yeah, he's a pocketful of hate that don't give a damn
Oh, what fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain′t got no future and he ain′t got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
The machine gun man, the machine gun man, yeah, yeah
