Machine Gun Man Lyrics - Singles - Pride And 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
