Tell me what a young man Mama
Whatıs he got to live for
Tossed in the shuffle of everyday war
Searchinı for some trouble
Which Iım sure he will find
Spend your whole like fightinı son
Meet your dyinı time
Itıs a shame
Itıs a shame
The trigger be his only friend
Itıs a shame, oh yeh
But it ainıt never gonna end
Heıs a pocketful of hate
That donıt give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
Well, he ainıt got no future
And he ainıt got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
I canıt see tomorrow
And I donıt see today
Trail of confusion done leadinı my way
They say the only thing worth killinı Lord
Be killinı time
I say the only soul worth savinı now Mama
Resavinı mine
Itıs a shame
Its a shame
The trigger be his only friend
Itıs a shame, oh yeh
But it ainıt never gonna end
Heıs a pocketful of hate
That donıt give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
Well, he ainıt got no future
And he ainıt got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man ?
He keeps shootinı mama like any old fool would do
Lord, the life he be leadinı ainıt 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
