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 like fightin’ son
Meet your dyin’ time
It’s a shame
It’s a shame
The trigger be his only friend
It’s a shame, oh yeh
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 ?
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
Resavin’ mine
It’s a shame
Its a shame
The trigger be his only friend
It’s a shame, oh yeh
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 ?
