Black Label Society - Machine Gun Man lyrics
[Black Label Society - Machine Gun Man lyrics]
Tell me what a young man, mama
What's he got to live for
Tossed in the shuffles of 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, no
That's right he's a pocketful of hate that
Don't give a damn
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future and
He ain't got no plan
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
The machine gun man, yeah
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
Only soul worth savin' now, mama
Be a re-savin' 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 await's the machine-gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future and
He ain't got no plan
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
He keeps shootin', oh mama
Like any old fool would do
Lord, the life he be leadin'
Ain't the one he had 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, he's a pocketful of hate
That don't give a damn
Oh, what fate await's the machine-gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future and
He ain't got no plan
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
The machine, yeah, gun man
The machine-gun man, yeah, oh yeah
What's he got to live for
Tossed in the shuffles of 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, no
That's right he's a pocketful of hate that
Don't give a damn
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future and
He ain't got no plan
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
The machine gun man, yeah
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
Only soul worth savin' now, mama
Be a re-savin' 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 await's the machine-gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future and
He ain't got no plan
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
He keeps shootin', oh mama
Like any old fool would do
Lord, the life he be leadin'
Ain't the one he had 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, he's a pocketful of hate
That don't give a damn
Oh, what fate await's the machine-gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future and
He ain't got no plan
What fate await's the machine-gun man?
The machine, yeah, gun man
The machine-gun man, yeah, oh yeah
