Machine Gun Man lyrics

Songwriters: Wylde, Zakk;

Tell me what a young man, Mama
What s he got to live for
Tossed in the shuffle of everyday war

Searchin for some trouble
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 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?

I can t see tomorrow
And I don t see today
Trail of confusion done leadin my way

They say the only thing worth killin Lord
Be killin time
I say the only soul worth savin now Mama be a
Re-savin mine

It s a shame, it s a shame
The trigger be his only friend
It s a shame, oh yeah
But it ain t never gonna end

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?

He keeps shootin oh 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

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, yah, gun man
The machine gun man
