Machine Gun Man Lyrics - Unblackened - Zakk Wylde & Black Label Society

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 

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 

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 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, yeah, gun man, the machine-gun man, yeah, oh yeah
