Black Label Society Machine Gun Man song 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 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, yeah

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 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 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, don't give a damn

Oh, what fate awaits the machine gun man?

Well, he ain't got no future, he ain't got no plan

What fate awaits the machine gun man?

The machine, yeah, gun man

The machine gun man, yeah, oh yeah
