 Tell me what a young man Mama
What¹s he got to live for
Tossed in the shuffle of everyday war
Searchin¹ for some trouble
Which I¹m sure he will find
Spend your whole like fightin¹ son
Meet your dyin¹ time
It¹s a shame
It¹s a shame
The trigger be his only friend
It¹s a shame, oh yeh
But it ain¹t never gonna end
He¹s a pocketful of hate
That don¹t give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
Well, he ain¹t got no future
And he ain¹t got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
I can¹t see tomorrow
And I don¹t see today
Trail of confusion done leadin¹ my way
They say the only thing worth killin¹ Lord
Be killin¹ time
I say the only soul worth savin¹ now Mama
Resavin¹ mine
It¹s a shame
Its a shame
The trigger be his only friend
It¹s a shame, oh yeh
But it ain¹t never gonna end
He¹s a pocketful of hate
That don¹t give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
Well, he ain¹t got no future
And he ain¹t got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
He keeps shootin¹ mama like any old fool would do
Lord, the life he be leadin¹ ain¹t the one he has to choose
As he walks on out that door
Mama breaks down to cry
As she waves the machien gun man
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
